Academia in the pandemic: The challenges and experiences in the work environment

ABSTRACT

The pandemic has changed our work schedule and everyday routine. As a researcher, I found this time to be challenging both professionally and personally. This chapter includes some of those challenges and highlights how I overcame them. It took me time to find solutions to new complexities that emerged in my work life due to the pandemic. After almost two years in the pandemic I am able to look back and identify how the institution supported us and how I self-motivated and pushed myself to keep going and work towards my goals.
