Abstract

This special issue initially arose from the 2019 Provoking Curriculum Studies Conference at the University of Regina. Shortly after the conference, the world was thrown into the COVID-19 pandemic. The papers in this special issue view the pandemic through a prism to consider existing practices within the academy and reflect upon and imagine new possibilities for academic work and lives. Author explorations include arts-based inquiry, grief, peer-to-peer support, Indigenous Métissage, poetic inquiry and diasporic bodies.
