This year's workshop will focus on empirical, micro-level research that sheds light on the nexus between pandemics, social unrest and violent conflict. We will discuss innovative methodological approaches to fieldwork amidst the Covid-19 pandemic and new theoretical and empirical perspectives on the impact of Covid-19 on people, households, groups and firms, such as the welfare and economic impact of lockdowns, effects of the pandemic and lockdowns on the labour market, consequences of the pandemic in humanitarian settings and among refugees and displaced populations, consequences for supply chains and food markets, effects on schooling, children and mental health, (dis)trust in government, among others.
