abstract: 'The COVID-19 pandemic threatens both lives and livelihoods. To reduce
|
|
|
|
the spread of the virus, governments have introduced crisis management
|
|
|
|
interventions that include border closures, quarantines, strict social
|
|
|
|
distancing, marshalling of essential workers and enforced homeworking.
|
|
|
|
COVID-19 measures are necessary to save the lives of some of the most
|
|
|
|
vulnerable people within society, and yet in parallel they create a
|
|
|
|
range of negative everyday effects for already marginalized people.
|
|
|
|
Likely unintended consequences of the management of the COVID-19 crisis
|
|
|
|
include elevated risk for workers in low-paid, precarious and care-based
|
|
|
|
employment, over-representation of minority ethnic groups in case
|
|
|
|
numbers and fatalities, and gendered barriers to work. Drawing upon
|
|
|
|
feminist ethics of care, I theorize a radical alternative to the
|
|
|
|
normative assumptions of rationalist crisis management. Rationalist
|
|
|
|
approaches to crisis management are typified by utilitarian logics,
|
|
|
|
masculine and militaristic language, and the belief that crises follow
|
|
|
|
linear processes of signal detection, preparation/prevention,
|
|
|
|
containment, recovery and learning. By privileging the quantifiable -
|
|
|
|
resources and measurable outcomes - such approaches tend to omit
|
|
|
|
considerations of pre-existing structural disadvantage. This article
|
|
|
|
contributes a new theorization of crisis management that is grounded in
|
|
|
|
feminist ethics to provide a care-based concern for all crisis affected
|
|
|
|
people.'
