Dutta*, Christine Elers and Pooja Jayan School of Communication, Journalism and Marketing, Center for Culture-Centered Approach to Research and Evaluation (CARE), Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand The culture-centered approach (CCA) foregrounds the organizing role of communities at the “margins of the margins” of the globe as the spaces for identifying the structural challenges to health and well-being and for co-creating community-anchored solutions to these challenges. Pandemics such as COVID-19 render visible the deep-rooted inequalities across and within societies, seeded and catalyzed by over three decades of variegated neoliberal reforms. The trajectories of COVID-19 outbreaks as well as the effects of COVID-19-related policies render visible the inequalities that are written into the neoliberal organizing of political economy. Community participation is scripted into Edited by: the neoliberal framework as an instrument for depoliticizing community and utilizing it as Iccha Basnyat, a channel for disseminating top-down individual behavior change messages.
