Personal and Administrative Perspectives from the Communication Discipline during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Edited by Jim A. Kuypers - Contributions by Carl M. Cates; Scott Christen; Deanna P. Dannels; Ann L. Darling; Ashley P. Duggan; Michelle Epstein Garland; Elizabeth M. Glowacki; Sandra S. Harper; Mark Hickson III; Hannah E. Jones; Jim A. Kuypers; Pamela J. Lannutti; Amy R. May; Joseph P. Mazer; Victoria McDermott; Timothy Mottet; Erin Sahlstein Parcell; Don W. Stacks; Helen Tate and Jennifer A. Theiss

This book addresses questions about the major impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on human communication and the ways in which the communication discipline has been impacted by and has responded to the conditions of the pandemic. Contributors examine both the personal and the university administrative level to discuss how the pandemic and its lockdowns and transition to online learning, among other consequences, impacted specific areas of scholarship within the communication discipline. Contributors represent a number of sub-disciplines and focus on important elements they have witnessed being influenced by pandemic responses, bringing to light the unique insights about the pandemic and its effect on human communication their sub-discipline affords them. They go on to explore how the pandemic has impacted, or will impact, the teaching of their subject area and provide future suggestions for research in that area. Sub-disciplines represented include interpersonal communication, family communication, nonverbal communication, health communication, military learners, communication administrators, and instructional communication concerns.

About the Contributors

"So many elements of communication have been fundamentally upended by the COVID-19 pandemic. The scholars who contribute to this important text help us to understand these changes in multiple contexts, from family to governmental to administrative. What's even more exciting is that the authors join theory and practice to offer translatable teaching, policy, and research suggestions and future directions."


— Jennifer L. Bevan, Chapman University


"Jim A. Kuypers has collected a welcome set of authors in this book that present chapters that explore what we have all lived through over the past two years of the pandemic. Communication theory and knowledge are brought to bear on many aspects of life that we have dealt with: family, relationships, work, and teaching. Why did some relationships grow stronger during the stress of the pandemic, while others declined or ended? How have families adapted their communication during the pandemic? What does wearing masks mean or communicate? Verbally, how do we talk about the virus with significant others in our lives? This book gives us a great start on understanding how much we can learn about communication in our future."


— John Meyer, University of Southern Mississippi


"From relationships to the military to classroom teaching, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted how we communicate. Using a multi-disciplinary approach, this book lays the groundwork for understanding the changes the pandemic has wrought on all of us, and will be a useful baseline text for scholars in the future. The essays contained in this book have captured (and encapsulated) these historical changes in real time, exploring interpersonal and organizational communication in the age of COVID. A must read for those who want to better understand how the events of 2020-2022 have affected the ways we communicate (or don't), and a precautionary roadmap for the next pandemic (lest we forget, again)."


— David S. Silverman, Kansas State University
