The contribution of social sciences is very relevant in understanding this disease and pandemic as well as its effects. It is also relevant for taking measures, such as, for example, compliance with physical distance, mask-wearing, no gatherings, and information to the population in a more efficient way. This book discusses topics such as COVID-19 in a risk society and its implications; the situation of patients with diabetes in a lockdown context; the technological, pedagogical, and social challenges posed by remote teaching; and, finally, the explanation of potential contributions of several specific social sciences that can shape both the taking of measures and their fulfilment in the desired direction. The book concludes with an analysis of the underlying social, psychological, and philosophical issues that are pandemic-related and that may have a considerable impact on societies and individuals, also highlighting the situation of the most disadvantaged groups, given that pandemics tend to accentuate social inequalities. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 606 $aFood & society$2bicssc 610 $aeducation 610 $apandemic 610 $aphilosophy 610 $apolicy 610 $apractice 610 $apsychology 610 $aresearch 610 $asocial 610 $aCOVID-19 610 $adiabetes 610 $apsychosocial effects 610 $aself-observations 610 $arisk perceptions 610 $asocial relations 610 $asystems theory 610 $aqualitative research 610 $asocial sciences 610 $ainequality 610 $acontagion 610 $asocial distancing 610 $aonline learning 610 $aemergency remote teaching 610 $atechnological challenges 610 $apedagogical challenges 610 $asocial challenges 610 $arisk 610 $aAnthropocene 610 $amodernization 610 $aglobalization 610 $adisease identity 610 $adeliberative valuation 610 $ainformed decision making 610 $apublic engagement 610 $astakeholder engagement 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 615 7$aFood & society 700 $aFerreira$b Carlos Miguel$4edt$01277787 702 $aSerpa$b Sandro$4edt 702 $aFerreira$b Carlos Miguel$4oth 702 $aSerpa$b Sandro$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557519203321 996 $aCOVID-19 and Social Sciences$93012063 997 $aUNINA
