How My COVID-19 Disruption Became My Privileged Boom Time
In: Portal: journal of multidisciplinary international studies, Band 17, Heft 1-2
Abstract
I was meant to spend the first half of 2020 on research study leave at the University of Cologne. My partner and I rushed back to Australia in mid-March, disrupting our plans and forcing me into a new working paradigm. Yet, the disruption wound up sending me into one of the most productive periods of my career. In this article, I reflect on how my privileges - both earned and unearned - have contributed to a boom in my academic work at the same time that it has wreaked havoc on the entire sector. I also reflect on how Covid-19 has not caused problems in higher education per se, but rather has exposed and exacerbated inequalities across the sector.
