Disruptions in Everyday Life: Changing Social Practices and Dynamics of Consumption
This Collection presents a theoretically informed empirical analysis of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and associated socio-material disruptions on the everyday lives of people around the world. Adopting a practice-based approach to studying everyday routines under disruption, it progresses insights into the dynamics of social change and makes theoretical, methodological, and empirical contributions to the field of sustainable consumption research. Questions considered by the Collection include (but are not limited to): What new practices and ways of doing and arranging daily life emerged during the disruption? How did disruptions to systems of provision result in socially differentiated impacts on everyday life? What practices might persist in the longer term and how can systems of provision, including policy, support the emergence of more resilient and “sustainable” practices?
