ABSTRACT This article presents an autoethnography (AE) of my experience of improvising disaster communication with community translators in Denmark through the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Like the author, who is a novice in Danish, those who are not competent in the dominant language(s) of communication are deemed to be more vulnerable in disaster situations, such as the current pandemic, due to language barriers and disaster linguicism. However, using AE, this research explores the potential, and the evidence, for using community translators to foster inclusive, interactive and spontaneous disaster communication to overcome disaster linguicism, and to protect Indigenous/Tribal, Minority and Minoritized languages and peoples’ (ITMs) communication rights. My critical self-reflection and observation from an ITM perspective challenge the traditional unidirectional top-down disaster communication schemes which are still dominant in disaster management.

ABSTRACT Individuals who gave birth during the COVID-19 pandemic experienced an increased risk for premature births, stillbirths, depression, and lower access to care. Their stories provide valuable information that can inform clinical care, particularly due to loss of in-person support resulting from visitor restrictions in hospitals. Grounded in a theory of narrative problematics, we explored how elicited birth narratives were affected by COVID-19 and how stories can be used as material evidence to inform healthcare systems. We facilitated seven focus group discussions with 65 women from 19 states who had given birth between March and July 2020. Three themes emerged from our qualitative thematic analysis: (1) navigating disrupted access to healthcare; (2) experiencing loss of co-construction of birth experience; and (3) recognizing fissures in the mask-wearing master narrative. Practical implications for improving healthcare include developing spaces for individuals to process birth stories for cathartic benefit due to significant disruption, improving hospital policies about in-person support to avoid loss of co-construction of experience, and centering hospitals and the providers that work within them as audiences for interventions around preventive measures during a disease outbreak.

ABSTRACT During the COVID-19 pandemic, organizations that had previously operated in low-risk conditions found themselves in environments where failure could be catastrophic. Using the framework of high reliability organizations (HRO), we analyze a specific case of a U.S. university taskforce charged with responding to the pandemic. We argue that the practices employed by the taskforce align with HRO principles, leading to two important theoretical contributions. First, this project highlights the utility of non-HROs using organizing principles reflective of an HRO framework. Next, this project extends HRO theorizing from a set of practices that prevent crisis to a set of communicative principles beneficial during crisis. Finally, the findings suggest practical implications for organizations during various stages of crisis.

ABSTRACT As workers continue to grapple with the ongoing changes and uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is critical to examine how to foster young adult workers’ resilience and efficacy, which may prevent their burnout in a sustained crisis. This study investigates the effects of the perceived qualities of change communication, organizational support, and supervisor support on young adult workers’ resilience and efficacy in South Korea, which may mitigate disengagement and exhaustion. Our findings demonstrated that: (a) Supervisor support was positively associated with resilience and efficacy among young adult workers, whereas organizational support and communication did not have such effects. (b) Although young professionals who perceived themselves as efficacious were not necessarily able to prevent burnout, those who conceived of themselves as resilient were indeed less susceptible to burnout. Drawing on these findings, we discuss theoretical implications and practical recommendations for building a supportive work environment during a crisis.

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic amplified inequities around parent-scholars in the neoliberal gig academy. This paper documents the stories and intersectional struggles of four precarious parent-scholars as they navigated doctoral work, dissertation defenses, research, remote teaching, and family life during the pandemic. We illustrate how we navigated our neoliberal subjectivities and the extending multifold crises around the division of labor between academic work and parenting, gender roles, and internalized pressures exacerbated by a public postsecondary education system that exploits increasingly precarious workforces. Through critical collaborative autoethnography, we reflect on our parenting and teaching from March 2020 to August 2021. Drawing from our collective findings we summarize three mutually interdependent areas of communicative intervention that can make our workplace more equitable, entailing self-reflection, negotiation of labor, and collaborative dialogue.

ABSTRACT This collaborative autoethnography addresses the cultural, social, and political issues of (un)masking during the COVID-19 pandemic. Though it may seem a simple act of wearing face masks in order to protect oneself and others from the virus, it has turned into a rather intricate phenomena for multiple reasons, including cultural attitudes, political rhetoric, and misinformation from leading health organizations. In this piece, the authors offer narrative dialogues of their experiences with mask-wearing across cultures and time, spanning from their youth in Japan and Bosnia–Herzegovina, respectively, to their current adult life in the U.S. prior to and during the pandemic. During the COVID-19 health crisis, reflections of our lived experiences across and within cultures provided us with rich qualitative data to understand the sociocultural impacts of mask-wearing (Rituparna & Uekusa [2020]. Collaborative autoethnography: ‘Self-reflection’ as a timely alternative research approach during the global pandemic. Qualitative Research Journal, 20(4), 383–392. https://doi.org/10.1108/QRJ-06-2020-0054). This work contributes to mask-wearing behaviors and larger social and cultural changes regarding empathy and respect across cultural boundaries.

ABSTRACT This article explores my personal journey as a migrant from Colombia to the United States, the experiences of my friend, and the experiences of other migrants as we navigate our identity as citizens and ‘aliens’ during COVID-19. As I dig deep into what being a citizen represents when we migrate from our country of origin, I explore the different layers of meaning that this journey takes when a health pandemic, like COVID-19, is thrown into the mix.

ABSTRACT This autoethnography uses narrative inquiry to make sense of practices normalized during quarantine. It centers my identity as a classed and racialized immigrant in relation to the socioeconomics of quarantine to question seemingly innocent mandates, policies, and practices. The narrative form of the article is influenced by Nathan Hodges’ ‘The Chemical Life.' I use the self-reflexive ‘I' to connect the individual to the social and engage the reader with my routine in quarantine. I also rely on repetition – inspired by Aisha Durham’s ‘On Collards'– to reinforce the normalcy of the quarantine, i.e., what is new for most of us has been the same old for most of us. The repetition combined with understatements attempts to unsettle the novelty of quarantine.

ABSTRACT Immigrants use food blogs to construct and maintain their ethnic identities. During the pandemic in spring of 2020, the Indian food blog Bongmom’s Cookbook, which showcases food from the Kolkata region of India, was my go-to for coping with the sense of uncertainty in the world. The blog and Facebook posts used humor to document meals and family life during the pandemic, while avoiding more difficult topics surrounding the pandemic. Using Bongmom’s blog as an example, this paper argues that the topic of food is fraught with politics. On the one hand, the blog fulfills readers’ emotional needs by helping them connect with their homeland and providing a space for self-care during a crisis, but on the other hand, the absence of discussion on issues such as economic inequality, healthcare, unfair immigration practices, and institutional racism highlights the economic and social divides within the immigrant community.

ABSTRACT During the COVID-19 pandemic, as shelter-in-place orders were issued in the United States, most people were confined to their homes and adjusted to new domestic routines. This essay traces my routine of walking through different landscapes in Santa Cruz and reflects on being in-between languages and continents. I entangle personal reflections with theory in an attempt to portray the experience of being quarantined across borders in an unfamiliar country with a foreign language and culture. I explore how being in between languages, being nomadic, can serve to deconstruct identity. I find myself observing and contemplating ideas of home and travel, as well as the diversity of landscapes and forms of existence. This essay is a first-person narrative observing the thoughts and sensations that occur in an attempt to disconnect from the saturated screen experience of everyday life and connect with nature and contemplative interior states.
