Castillo bring together a diverse range of texts, from research-based studies to self-reflective essays, to reexamine what it means to be a publicly engaged scholar in the era of COVID.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetween social distancing, masking, and remote teaching--along with the devastating physical and emotional tolls on individuals and families--the disruption of COVID-19 in academia has given motivated scholars an opportunity (or necessitated them) to reconsider how they interact with and inspire students, conduct research, and continue collaborative projects. Addressing a broad range of factors, from anti-Asian racism to pedagogies of resilience and escapism, digital pen pals to international performance, the essays are connected by a flexible, creative approach to community engagement as a core aspect of research and teaching. Timely and urgent, but with long-term implications and applications, \u003ci\u003eScholars in COVID Times\u003c\/i\u003e offers a heterogeneous vision of scholarly and pedagogical innovation in an era of contestation and crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMelissa Castillo Planas is Associate Professor in theof English Department at Lehman College, CUNY.
