Religion, Law, and COVID-19 in Europe investigates how the pandemic and the subsequent legal restrictions influenced religious life in the region. The volume is based on 19 in-depth country case studies that combine legal and sociological analyses. By reflecting the plurality of religious and secular contexts, the volume details how the pandemic affected religious communities and challenged both religions and societies and how this was influenced by varying religious landscapes, political histories and legal cultures. More broadly, this edited volume reveals the importance of sudden, large-scale events in understanding religious change in the modern world.

Situating Sustainability reframes our understanding of sustainability through related concepts, practices, and case studies. The differing geographic scope of this volume is joined by the disciplinary diversity of the contributors, bringing together researchers from cultural studies, anthropology, literature, law, behavioral science, urban studies, design, and development. The work of researchers and artists enables readers to better understand what sustainability means in their own locations, and how work in one place might support the efforts of others in other places.
