Abstract

We write this editorial with mixed feelings. We are pleased to see this issue published and very grateful to all our contributors - but we wish to acknowledge that this issue is being produced in the most unusual context. As we are all now aware, the spread of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation on 13th March 2020. While the virus had already caused much pain, suffering and loss before that date, it was the announcement by the World Health Organisation which instantly transformed the virus from a local, situated concern to the problem of everyone across the world.
