Abstract
Quarantined during the COVID-19 pandemic gives time to reflect upon an event and experience unprecedented in our lifetimes. How did we get here? What do we understand? What can we do? What does this mean going forward, for future generations and the sustainability of our planet? In the midst of juggling new modes of teaching, caring for children and other dependents, and shuffling conferences and other planned travel and professional commitments, we find ourselves grappling with such questions, as scholars and as citizens of the world.
