Complaint! by Sara Ahmed (review)

Abstract

workers and mental health clinicians, may prevent scholars who struggle with anxiety and depression, for example, from availing themselves of any wellness resources and counseling services available to them on campus. In the age of COVID-19, the long-term effects of the disease for those who have survived it are yet to be fully understood and the impacts of the collective trauma are likely exacerbating for those who are already struggling with isolating physical conditions and mental health challenges. Though Matthew and her authors could not have predicted the pandemic that began in 2020 in 2016, such a perspective would be incredibly useful now. Perhaps a future exploration will consider those who have been adversely impacted during this time.
