WITS END
(dis) comfort of (un) certainty You don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone ... A refrain that echoed through most of 2020 and 2021, as we all bemoaned the activities – from daily comforts to grand adventures – that we had taken for granted until the great COVID pause. For staff and students at universities around the world, these included the small pleasures of campus life. Witsies have rediscovered them in 2022, despite the blended learning and hybrid home/ office models that have come to characterise our collective new normal.
