Plural Approaches to Understanding COVID-19 Response

Sat, October 2, 10:00 to 11:30am PDT (10:00 to 11:30am PDT), TBA

Session Submission Type: Virtual Created Panel

Session Description

This panel reflects APSA's Promoting Pluralism theme in its timely and pluralistic approaches to understanding the pandemic. Specifically, the papers featured on this panel attempt to explain the states' varied response to COVID-19. In the U.S. response to the COVID-19 pandemic was left largely to the fifty states. States took plural approaches to containing the pandemic and managing its impacts on basic functions like elections and education. Scholars now are taking plural approaches to understanding states' COVID-19 response. Their scholarship helps to expand theoretical and empirical understanding of response to crises in democratic, federal systems and to better understand timely challenges.
