Description
On March 8-9, 2023, the European Parliament's special committee on the COVID-19 pandemic invited social scientists to discuss the EU's crisis preparedness and response, acknowledging the convergence of physical and social sciences in addressing global crises. This book explores new research in English Studies shaped by the evolving humanities, rethinking its relationship with other disciplines in light of emerging questions. The collection covers topics like memory studies, trauma, nature-human connections, migration, marginality, identity, culture, and posthumanism, each with a critical and innovative approach. The essays examine subliminal biases related to race, caste, religion, gender, and sexual orientation, highlighting English Studies' interdisciplinary nature and its alignment with the objectives of India's National Educational Policy, 2020. This book will interest academics and researchers in the Humanities and Social Sciences.
