What a year 2020 has turned out to be! The COVID-19 pandemic pulled UCT lecturers, tutors and professional and support staff rapidly into emergency remote teaching and exposed the extent of the inequalities across our community. It's been a rough time and academic and student identities have been under huge strain. In this period of emergency remote teaching we have had to change where and how we teach. Students have had to face the sometimes harsh challenges of what it means to be a student during the current crisis.
