Conceived first through voice calls and virtual meetings between Ankara and Boston during the early days of the COVID- 19 outbreak, the ideas that spurred this collection of essays emerged from a union of local and global actors, all posthuman, and all cutting across emergent conditions of time, scale, and agency. Those ideas were galvanised by not only our scholarly work in the posthumanities but also our humanly anxieties, fears of uncertainty, and care. Both of us having been trained as literary and cultural studies scholars (of British literature and culture specifically), we had studied and read immensely about narratives of disease and epidemics, as well as the possibilities and vulnerabilities that accompany them, long before this outbreak.
