| Abstract |
|
The pressures brought about by the COVID-19 global pandemic in 2020 have amplified the significance of academic resilience and highlight the importance of a shared insights into academics' experiences. The responses to academic work with in this context has received little research attention despite its universality during the pandemic. Failing to recognise, or 'invisibilising' the roles and needs of academics during a pandemic, is a significant concern. This chapter explores this uncharted terrain,and presents stories of resilience – being a postdoc in a foreign country (de los Reyes), negotiating (yet another) contract (Mahat), navigating research in a different context (Cohrssen), and digital engagement in academia (Blannin) – from academics in different career stages and global contexts. These stories provide points of reflection for those navigating the complex world of academia during these uncertain times. |
