In 2020 the global workplace underwent a fundamental change with the almost wholesale transfer of communicative labour from physical spaces in the real world to virtual spaces online. This has had profound implications not only for the way we work but also for how we communicate with one another as human beings. In this much needed volume, Fiona Rossette-Crake and Elvis Buckwalter present a pluridisciplinary range of contributions which reveal the manifold experience of remote working in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. For scholars and students interested in how the pandemic has impacted on work in the domains of discourse, communication, linguistic diversity, culture, management, public messaging, government policy or the operations of biopower and surveillance, this collection is essential reading. John O'Regan, Professor of Critical Applied Linguistics, University College London, UK This volume is one of the firsts to take stock of the fundamental changes brought on by the pandemic, both in how we as a society interact about a global crisis, and both how it affects our interactions in professional situations. The professional and research insights from a group of thought leaders will appeal to an interdisciplinary audience interested in exploring the pandemic through the lenses of communication, culture and organisation. Erika Darics, Lecturer in Communication and Information Science, University of Groningen, Netherlands Of course, COVID-19 has been thoroughly researched from a public health and epidemiology perspective. But it is so good to see scholars in social sciences and communication get involved too, foregrounding other, equally relevant issues like responsibility, power and trust through the powerful lenses of discourse, narrative and culture. This is a highly welcome, timely volume indeed. Geert Jacobs, Professor of English Business Communication, Ghent University, Belgium
