The third millennium confronts academics of all disciplines of study with the exigency of addressing their emergent dilemmas as professionals in their fields through scholarly publications. This volume finds an outlet for such expressiveness in autoethnography, which helps to emancipate individuals, institutions, and societies through creating authentic relations between scholars and their writing.

It explores the new relationships between scholars and their writing which the worldwide context of the SarsCov2 pandemic forced into being. The contributions here describe personal experiences related to the changes in their authors’ approach to work in general, and to writing in particular, with an eye to how they may shed light upon the cultural and social dynamics upon the whole. The authors offer implicit criticism of the newly constructed social reality.
