This report brings together findings and reflections from a multi-sited research and public engagement process that examined the social, political, economic and cultural dimensions of COVID-19 pandemic governance in Croatia and beyond. Drawing from feminist, critical race, anthropological, political science and public sociology frameworks, it interrogates how crisis governance both reinforced and revealed inequalities—particularly across lines of race, class, gender, age, and citizenship. While centering the Croatian case, the analysis is embedded in broader European and global contexts, foregrounding minoritized experiences, community resilience, and civic contestation. Through original research, workshops, and local and transnational collaborations, the report seeks to re-politicize the pandemic as a moment of rupture and possibility, and to contribute to a deeper understanding of crisis governance, its afterlives, and the collective futures it forecloses—or makes imaginable.
