Urban Livelihoods & Everyday Life in Pandemic Times

The fourth and last workshop of our series will look at “Urban Livelihoods and Everyday Life in Pandemic Times”. During this session speakers will present how the Covid-19 pandemic affected lives at the social and urban margins across the globe.

Specifically, they will illustrate how invisibilised sections of society, such as for instance wage and migrant workers and trans-people of colour, from India to Morocco, Italy, the US and Brazil grapple with access to welfare, security and other state provisions during the sanitary crisis
