The Corona Chronicles: On Leadership, Processes, Commitments, and Hope in Uncertain Times

COVID 19 or Coronavirus or Corona has undoubtedly affected every facet of life for every citizen of the world. In early 2020 most of the world had not even contemplated its name. Economic, health, labor, and social sectors have suffered tremendously during this pandemic. Education changed, quite literally, overnight. We now find ourselves in a digital landscape trying to engage with our 'new normal.' We realize that many educators from pre-schools through graduate colleges are engaging different realities other than what we are used to. These realities have sparked many narratives and stories, some verbalized, others shared on social media, and others still communicated within our contexts of learning.

This groundbreaking volume, the second of two, carefully weaves together, over 33 chapters, perspectives on the processes, leadership, commitments, and hope associated with the experience of COVID-19. Both volumes center a commitment to not losing the power narrative - the power to chronicle, the power to transform, the power to inspire, the power to build allyship through hardship.
