Abstract

A good deal of my scholarship addresses academic-practitioner relationships and tensions. The pandemic provided me with unexpected opportunities to explore this relationship and its tensions through my own experience. In this chapter I describe two sets of unforeseen events I experienced during the pandemic. One, during the summer of 2020, had to do with the unplanned need to carry out activities associated with the Deanship of the Fellows of the Academy of Management that I had previously delegated to others and/or that I had to create in a new form. The other, which began in April, 2020, arose from my sudden urge to edit a book dealing with how social scientists can contribute to responses to serious crises. That book, which came to be named Social Scientists Confronting Global Crises, was published at the end of 2021. I explore both events through the lens of tensions between academia and practice.
