Researching in a pandemic

Chapter One outlines the research approach adopted: the methods we used, the theoretical lens that informed our analysis, and the interdisciplinary and collaborative ways in which we worked. Methodologically, the same approach was used for data collection and analysis across the four jurisdictions undertaken by teams based in each country. In each country we examined pandemic policy documents, published research on the impact of the pandemic on voluntary action, commissioned national surveys and undertook elite interviews.
