COVID-19 Humanities Network

Programa de Pós-Graduação em Antropologia Social da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (PPGAS-UFRGS)
The Covid-19 Humanities MCTI Network produces qualitative research that analyses the impacts of Covid-19. Its aim is to subsidise actions that consider the scientific, technological, social, political, historical and cultural implications of the pandemic in a multiple and situated way. It has been carried out in the south, southeast and north of Brazil and has been divided into two phases: the first dealing with the pandemic and its impact on people getting sick; and the second dealing with the impacts of control actions such as immunisation, isolation, treatments and the environment.
