Description
What are the building blocks of the new societal architectures after COVID-19? What are the evolving lifestyle patterns, social connections and relationality, and what can biographical research bring to explore these unprecedented societal circumstances?
This first book in the new series Advances in Biographical Research focuses on the place of biographical research in analysing and shaping social futures characterised by physical distancing and isolation, social fragmentation, trauma and vulnerability, including breaks in biographical trajectories.
Written by experienced and early career researchers, it demonstrates how biographical research responds to new societal architectures: theoretically and empirically.

Reviews / Votes
"Offering a new lens on the growing literature of biographical research, this book forces us to ask ourselves what living through a pandemic teaches us about exploring the lives of others, especially those who are 'vulnerable' and/or 'at risk'."
