Abstract

It was the worst of times: times of incredulity, despair, and darkness. Yet we emerged from that darkness into a season of light, the spring of hope, a new epoch of belief. While ours may not be ‘the best of times’ yet, the years during and following the COVID-19 pandemic sparked opportunities for new ways of thinking, doing, and being in higher education (HE).
