Faculty and staff in higher education have seen first-hand how distance, disruption, and distraction can challenge our perceptions of teaching and learning while highlighting inequities across our colleges and universities. As the first book in the Empower Teaching Open Access Book Series, the editors of Resilient Pedagogy asked authors to explore the concepts surrounding resilient pedagogy in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the social justice movements that impacted higher education in myriad ways, and provide practical strategies to better support students across contexts. The purpose of this collection was not for authors to create a new definition for the term resilient pedagogy, nor to be provide a singular perspective. Instead, authors in each of the 15 chapters were asked to reflect on the emerging implications of year spent in turmoil and to connect their experiences to the literature and scholarship of teaching and learning. Many of the negative aspects surrounding distance, disruption, and distraction weren't caused by the pandemic, but our collective experience made us keenly aware of the inequities and throughout this volume the authors call readers to action to address these inequities head on.
