This is a good article that addresses some of the structural changes we will need to make in society in order address not only the current pandemic but also ongoing issues such as inequality and climate change (notice how different it is in tone and approach from the digital morality post from Selwyn and Aagaard). The authors write, "to meet the magnitude of this moment we must work collaboratively in ways that promote decentralization over top-down hierarchies, relationships over transactions, and emergence over control." I'd want to word it a bit differently, with a slight shift in emphasis, uring the word 'cooperatively' instead of 'collaborative;y', and 'engagement' instead of 'relationships'. But having said that, this article touches on themes that have been revisited many times in this newsletter.
