Controcorrente, a blog diary.
Reflections and thoughts by academics and practitioners about Coronavirus, daily life and society.
This is a spontaneous blog space that we have created to act as a historic diary to record and reflect the feelings, thoughts and concerns of academics-practitioners during this Covid-19 pandemic.
The aim of this blog is for our SG and its networks to have a voice about how they see, feel and analyse the current situation.
We welcome contributions from all over the world.
Please email them to Dr Baris Cayli Messina:

Please note that as the blog has completed it’s mission, we do not accept articles for the blog anymore.
