Journal of a Plague Year: 6 Voices from the Humanities Worldwide. Part II

In this second compilation of short essays and reflections, introduced by Christa Jansohn, six established literary and cultural scholars share their stories and experiences of teaching in the midst of the pandemic of 2020–21. They discuss the challenges and opportunities posed by radically different modes of teaching and interacting with students and colleagues; they ask what has been lost and gained; and they offer broader perspectives on the nature of their society itself in the light of a “new normal.” You can find Part I of this two-part series in the first issue of the 2021 edition of Archiv für das Studium der neueren Sprachen und Literaturen.
