Learning from the crisis

Chapter 3 in Sustainable Consumption, Production and Supply Chain Management, 2021, pp 15-21 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: We may be at a moment when one of Gibson-Graham’s (2006) openings is emerging, with the prospect of different ways of organising and understanding our lives. In the language of Holloway (2010), we have found a ‘crack’, for as we write this book, the scene has changed fundamentally with the rise of Covid-19. We have seen a growing awareness of our shared vulnerability and attempts to help each other become more resilient. This has been at the heart of an academic approach known as vulnerability theory. The crisis causes us to pause and reassess what is important and how we want to be. We were working with these ideas long before Covid-19 came to reshape our lives but we feel the debates are ever-more pressing considering that when are producing this work, so much feels transient, with a future up for grabs in a way that it may not have been just a few months before.
