Abstract

Editor’s Note In the intervening period between our previous issue’s going to press in Febru- ary 2020 and its publication that summer, the COVID-19 pandemic inflicted more disruption upon everyday life than most of us had ever seen. Now, as this double issue goes to press in the fall of 2020, the potential for further disruption remains undiminished. As of this writing, it is impossible to predict with any specificity the outcomes of the moment’s crises—in politics, in public health, in racial justice, and in economics—but what is clear is that these crises raise important questions about the functioning of our democracy and the basic ability of our society to evaluate information, communicate across factions, maintain civic trust, and gauge institutions’ ability to respond to problems. Still deeper, one finds occasion to reflect on the relationship between human and nonhuman life, as well as the ways in which publics succeed—or not—in changing their habits of behavior amid complex interactions between technical expertise and broader cultural values. It is a great strength of the AJTP that the traditions out of which the journal speaks generate insights on all of these issues. Indeed, I am particularly proud of how the current
