Answer:
COVID-19 is bringing about a whole set of new challenges in every possible realm; higher education being just one.
Explanation:
The term “new normal” first appeared during the 2008 financial crisis to refer to the dramatic economic, cultural and social transformations that caused precariousness and social unrest, impacting collective perceptions and individual lifestyles. This term has been used again during the COVID-19 pandemic to point out how it has completely invested and transformed undebatable pivots of human life such as professional identity, economic subsistence, work and family organization, children’s education management; imposing a radical revision of the traditional ways, practices and skills used to manage them. This Research Topic aims to address the individual and organizational consequences of such issues and stimulate a scholarly inter- and multi-disciplinary debate.
We invite research papers and theoretical contributions that could enrich the psycho-social discussion about perspectives opened by “the new normal” situation.
