Description
This edited collection provides personal narratives of the transitions and/or transformations of twelve academics as they encountered and conquered crises to offer a valuable teaching and learning experience to students irrespective of the nature of the crises they may be negotiating.
With contributions from Australia, Brazil, China, France, Lebanon, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, the UK and the USA, this book is an invaluable resource for academics at a variety of career stages and institutional levels who may be exposed to similar crises. Academics will find these narratives useful in negotiating their own internal struggles, as well as the challenges and opportunities they may encounter in facing a crisis. In addition, this book offers a fascinating reference point for a wide range of crises impacting teaching and learning across different continents. It offers a timely spotlight on contemporary issues of crisis that many higher education institutions around the world have encountered or will encounter. It also contributes to the construction of new knowledge in the field of higher education teaching during a crisis, a phenomenon which is becoming increasingly prominent and commonplace.
