Reflecting the significant societal disruption of the past 18 months, the theme of COVID-19 and consumption was well represented at the recent European Sociological Association conference.

Our consortium members presented their work in papers exploring the impact of COVID-19 on everyday practices across themes of food, mobilities, time, space and wellbeing. The specific paper titles and authors are listed below.

We are delighted to announce that these papers (and other non-consortium papers) will be published in a special issue in Sustainability: Science, Policy and Practice focused on COVID-19 and changing social practices over the coming months. Stay tuned over the coming months for further information!
