Abstract
The third decade of the twenty-first century is proving to be a time of great contradictions. It is a huge paradox that a worldwide health pandemic, coronavirus COVID-19, which killed over a million people, has coextensively thrown into sharp relief the reliance we have on low paid, under-valued health care workers and the greater vulnerability of poorer and marginalised people to the deadly disease. The health crisis is, however, one amongst several crises which impact our lives. They include climate and environmental breakdown, economic dislocation and trade wars between the USA and China, the weakening of international organisations capable of addressing transnational issues, the emergence of right-wing authoritarian populist governments, enforced dislocation and mass migration of millions of people due to wars famine and persecution and an explosion of precariousness and anxiety for young people who fear for their futures.
