"The COVID-19 pandemic was – and continues to be – hugely disruptive and
stressful for individuals, communities and countries. Yet many seem desperate
to close the chapter entirely, almost as if it had never happened.
This desire to forget and move on – labelled “lockdown amnesia” by some – is
understandable at one level. But it also risks missing the opportunity to learn
from what happened.
And while various official enquiries and royal commissions have been
established to examine the wider government responses (including in New
Zealand), the experiences of ordinary people are equally important to
understand.
As researchers interested in women and gender roles, we wanted to capture some
of this. For the past three years, our research has focused on what happened to
everyday women during this period of uncertainty and disruption – and what
lessons might be learned."
