Title: Amory Orchard Interview, May 28, 2020
Date: May 28, 2020
Creator: Amory Orchard; Maren Orchard
Description: Amory Orchard, a PhD student in Rhetoric and Composition at Florida State University, discusses the personal and professional impacts of COVID. As both a teacher and a student, she shares how this crisis has put her life into "a stasis of constant reflection" as she, along with others in her field, questioned how to transition to online. She has found that a mix of synchronous and asynchronous teaching is best, to check-in often with students but also to accomodate those whose access to technology is limited. Amory has found support among her students, as well as her graduate cohort, her family, and her cat, Teddy. She hopes that we will learn to check in with each other more, even when there is not a pandemic.

Title: Bryan B Interview, May 16, 2020
Date: May 16, 2020
Creator: Bryan B; Dan Kerr
Description: Bryan B., a PhD student at American University, shares how COVID has impacted his life. He talks about moving back in with his parents, and how it's nice to spend time with them, but he needs to be careful since his father has cancer. He discusses how the virus has impacted his social justice work, and reflects on how everyone's experience during this time is different and reflects how power and privilege work in our society. He shares how COVID-19 is the filter that reveals how we are currently fractured, and relates to the systematic devaluing of black, brown, Asian, and female bodies. Bryan talks about how the work of DC journalist Reginald Black has kept him going, and gives him hope that there are people we can support. Finally, he hopes that this can be the moment that healthcare for all becomes a thing we can all agree on. He believes that if we can't agree on that in this time, our country is a failed state.

Title: Marc Minsker Interview, May 30, 2020
Date: May 30, 2020
Creator: Marc Minsker; Maren Orchard
Description: Marc Minsker, a D.C. Public Schools high school teacher, talks about the impact of COVID, specifically on the Class of 2020. He shares how he thinks the pandemic will shape the personal histories of all 3.5 million high school seniors in America: how they were deprived the right to celebrate their graduations, and face a considerable amount of uncertainty. Marc thinks that while other students and teachers will have time to adjust going into next year, for the Class of 2020, high school is over. He does, however, hope that they will meet the future with optimism and a collective sense that "we got this." He ends by reminding us that behind every mask is a face and a story.

Title: Maren Orchard Interview, April 20, 2020
Date: April 20, 2020
Creator: Maren Orchard
Description: Humanities Truck Graduate Fellow Maren Orchard explores how the pandemic has impacted her life, especially as a final year graduate student. She shares how she has been struggling with the uncertainty of her next steps amid a pandemic, yet reflects upon the privilege she has to make certain decisions. Maren talks about her work as a student worker, and the often unnaccounted emotional weight of sustaining those close to her. She shares her struggles of feeling guilt and shame over her emotions, when she recognizes others are in worse positions. However, she has found calls with family and friends, being with her roommates, and talking with others in similar positions to be sustaining. Maren hopes that people will recognize their privilege as a result of this crisis and that we will act to put systems in place to provide for our most vulnerable citizens. She hopes that everyone will act to "better ourselves individually and in our communities, and structurally at national levels."
