Abstract
Description
In this interview, Participant 16 discusses how the pandemic impacted their work as a college professor. The participant shares that the pandemic disrupted regular meetings with colleagues and students, and how sudden it was to switch to hybrid and online classes. They express concern about not being able to see their daughter in months, as well as other family and friends. They also share concern about how long it takes to receive COVID test results, and the number of people who are dying, as well as access to food and medical care for everyone. The participant found strength in having phone conversations with others, and calming and comforting people. They describe perceptions of possible civil disorder, but that people must learn collectively and learn from each other to get through the pandemic.
