Abstract

This book documents the new and innovative forms of scholarship, community collaboration, and teaching brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. The book brings together a diverse range of texts, from research-based studies to self-reflective essays, to reexamine what it means to be a publicly engaged scholar in the era of COVID. Between social distancing, masking, and remote teaching—along with the devastating physical and emotional tolls on individuals and families—the disruption of COVID-19 in academia has given motivated scholars an opportunity (or necessitated them) to reconsider how they interact with and inspire students, conduct research, and continue collaborative projects. Addressing a broad range of factors, from anti-Asian racism to pedagogies of resilience and escapism, digital pen pals to international performance, the chapters are connected by a flexible, creative approach to community engagement as a core aspect of research and teaching. The book offers a heterogeneous vision of scholarly and pedagogical innovation in an era of contestation and crisis.
