2. Response: How might COVID-19 and our response to it reshape human-nonhuman interactions?
3. Representation & Justice: How is the understanding of COVID-19 and responses to it caught up in questions of representation? What would a more just discourse look like?

5.  Broader, overarching question: What should a more-than-human research agenda of the COVID-19 look like?
