ABSTRACT

This autoethnographic essay traces my sense of “pandemic” pedagogy in teaching, learning, and living through the cumulative and collective trauma of our lives lived out online in the wake of COVID-19. These narratives still the cacophony of daily life into symphonic moments of experience asking that the reader bring their own experiences into a dialogue with the material and to consider that after the pandemic passes how will we all teach and learn differently. This work brings performativity and the increasing need for Performative Social Science (PSS) into high relief.
