📢#OutNow in #OA: 'Play in a #Covid Frame: Everyday #Pandemic #Creativity in a Time of #Isolation', edited by Anna Beresin and Julia Bishop.

During the international #coronavirus #lockdowns of 2020–2021, millions of children, youth, and adults found their usual play areas out of bounds and their friends out of reach.

How did the #pandemic restrict everyday play and how did the pandemic offer new spaces and new content? This unique collection of essays documents the ways in which #communities around the world harnessed play within the limiting frame of #COVID19

#Folklorists Anna Beresin and Julia Bishop adopt a multidisciplinary approach to this phenomenon, bringing together the insights of a #geographically and #demographically diverse range of #scholars, #practitioners, and #community #activists.
