This open access book examines the various ways that shame, shaming and stigma became an integral part of the United Kingdom’s public health response to COVID-19 during 2020. As the Covid-19 pandemic unfolded in 2020, it quickly became clear that experiences of shame, shaming and stigma dominated personal and public life. From healthcare workers insulted in the streets to anti-Asian racism, the online shaming of “Covidiots” to the identification of the “lepers of Leicester”, public animus about the pandemic found scapegoats for its frustrations. Interventions by the UK government maximised rather than minimized these phenomena. Instead of developing robust strategies to address shame, the government’s healthcare policies and rhetoric seemed to exacerbate experiences of shame, shaming and stigma, relying on a language and logic that intensified oppositional, antagonistic thinking, while dissimulating about its own responsibilities.Through a series of six case studies taken from the events of 2020, this thought-provoking book identifies a systemic failure to manage shame-producing circumstances in the UK. Ultimately, it addresses the experience of shame as a crucial, if often overlooked, consequence of pandemic politics, and advocates for a "shame sensitive" approach to public health responses.

Knowing COVID-19 demonstrates how researchers in the humanities shone a light on some of the many hidden problems of COVID-19, in the very depths of the pandemic crisis. Drawing on eight COVID-19 research projects, the volume shows how humanities researchers, alongside colleagues in the clinical and life sciences, addressed some of the major critical unknowns about this new infectious disease – from the effects of racism to the risks of deploying shame; from how to design an effective instructional leaflet to how to communicate effectively to bus passengers. Across eight novel case studies, the book showcases how humanities research during a pandemic is not only about interpreting the crisis when it has safely passed, but how it can play a vital, collaborative and instrumental role as events are still unfolding.

A mysterious schooner is found sinking off the coast, a young naval officer abandoned in its hold—barely alive, but carrying intelligence that could sway the negotiations at the Treaty of Berlin. Captain Richard Raine, master of a humble collier brigantine, is thrust into a world of diplomatic intrigue when he is tasked with delivering this vital information to the British Foreign Secretary.As Captain Raine races against time, an assassination plot surfaces. Who is the shadowy international conspirator pulling the strings—and whose interests does he truly serve?Meanwhile, a Chilean delegation arrives at Sir William Armstrong's Elswick armaments factory for a gunnery demonstration. Captain Raine and the Adjutant of the local artillery volunteers suspect something far more dangerous is afoot: are the visitors genuine buyers, or agents of the Irish Liberation Army—or even the Imperial German High Command?Drawn deeper into the crosscurrents of global politics, Captain Raine unexpectedly becomes a lifeline for Jewish families fleeing the horrors of the Russian pogrom in Tallinn, smuggling them to safety in Britain as they seek the first steps toward a new homeland.When a pioneering submarine engineer is kidnapped, the threat escalates. Can Captain Raine and the Royal Navy stop plans for a prototype submarine—and the balance of naval power—from falling into hostile hands?Set in 1881 against a backdrop of empire, revolution, and technological upheaval, A Master Mariner's Tale charts Captain Raine's journey from merchant mariner to reluctant hero in a gripping maritime adventure of espionage, courage, and international intrigue.
