COVID 19 has shaped, altered, and impacted nearly every facet of the world as we knew it prior to the start of the pandemic. From what was once a new and novel virus, to the development of testing, policies, and vaccines, and through the altered social reality that characterizes the new normal we work to make sense of our COVID-era realities. Previously we explored the narratives that marked the beginnings of the COVID-era in two volumes. What has been made clear to us is that our realities continue to spark narratives and stories which have a provocative and important power to help support our continued engagement with COVID. This volume provides a continued context for the power of narratives with a new opportunity to explore COVID-era realities nearly two years into COVID-19 - the power to chronicle, the power to transform, the power to inspire, the power to build allyship through hardship is the aim of this third volume. We chronicle how academics, educators, and community members continue to experience COVID-era realities at personal and/or professional levels: lessons they are learning and tales that help provide context, content, or convergence for readers. Chapters enter on issues of advocacy, diversity, equity, family, labor, technology, society, trepidation, and/or triumph and the book into four sections: On Loss & Struggle, On Adaptation, On Strength & Resilience, and On Moving Forward.
