Global Socio-political Dynamics in the Wake of COVID

Beyond the immediate health risks associated with the spread of SARS-CoV-2, its social, religious and political consequences are of great import for the mental wellbeing of social groups and communities. Pandemic triggered a global rise of authoritarianism that was characterised by hostility towards social groups. The current project integrates evolutionary forces and the need for survival and attempts to offer a unique perspective on the sociopolitical dynamics in the wake of the pandemic.
