In the midst of the global crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade launched the research project “Humans and Society in Times of Crisis” in 2020 with the aim of examining the implications of the current crisis on various aspects of human life and different spheres of social reality. In addition, based on the consideration of crises that have occurred in the recent or distant past and in different social contexts, the aim of the project is to reflect on possible solutions to the current crisis and formulate visions of the so-called post-Covid society. The time of crisis from the name of the project, therefore, can equally represent the time that has passed, the time in which we live, but also the time that awaits us.
Considering that the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade, as the oldest and largest scientific institution in Serbia where social sciences and humanities are studied, is invited and obliged to contribute to understanding and solving the previously mentioned issues, a large number of researchers from the Faculty decided to take part in the project. The project involves 20 research teams and a total of more than 200 researchers, with a significant number of interdisciplinary teams.
The main products of the first year of the project are 20 thematic collections, which were published in 2021 by the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade, under the edition Humans and Society in Times of Crisis. All collections are available in electronic form and can be downloaded without restrictions.
Work on the project continued in 2022, when even more colleagues from the Faculty joined the project bringing it to a total of 241 researchers. In 2022, researchers prepared 184 papers for scientific journals, thematic collections, and proceedings from various scientific conferences.
