New Open Access Book! Vulnerable The Law, Policy and Ethics of COVID-19 Edited by Colleen M. Flood, Vanessa MacDonnell, Jane Philpott, Sophie Thériault, and Sridhar Venkatapuram

Vulnerable: The Law, Policy and Ethics of COVID-19 

Vulnerable: The Law, Policy and Ethics of COVID-19 confronts the vulnerabilities that have been revealed by the pandemic and its consequences. It examines vulnerabilities for people who have been harmed or will be harmed by the virus directly and those harmed by measures taken to slow its relentless march; vulnerabilities exposed in our institutions, governance, and legal structures; and vulnerabilities in other countries and at the global level where persistent injustices affect us all. 

A monumental achievement; a peer reviewed collective work, with over 600 pages, including 43 chapters written in record time by 69 experts.
