BEING A STUDENT DURING COVID-19
A new online exhibition of photos explores the student experience of life and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
COVID-19 has profoundly impacted so many aspects of our lives.
There have been mass job losses, emptied supermarket shelves, mandatory social distancing and educational institutions have closed their doors.
Many university students around the world are experiencing considerable stress as a result of the transformation in how they are taught and fear of an uncertain future. While those students with children are juggling work, finances and family responsibilities.
We hear a lot on the news about the pandemic’s impact on international student numbers, university funds and the general economy, but don’t hear as much from students themselves on how COVID-19 has impacted their life.
A University of Melbourne project is bringing postgraduate students together virtually to record how COVID-19 has changed how they live and learn.
The world is a classroom
Usually the Community Based Participatory Research course is taught face-to-face, with students undertaking a class research project about diversity and inclusion on campus.
The course aims to teach a collaborative approach to research that emerges from the interests or problems of a specific group or community and values the lived experience of communities, with the aim of contributing to social change.
Instead, in the middle of a pandemic, the course students conducted a class-wide visual research project based on a method called photovoice, capturing their environment and experiences during COVID-19 through photographs and descriptive text.
As a result of the project, three core themes emerged: anxiety, precarity and gratitude.
ANXIETY AND THE ‘NEW NORMAL’
Many students reflected on how they are coping with feeling overwhelmed and frustrated as they adapt to the new normal.
As classes moved online causing anxiety for some, the monotonous routines and being homebound has led to struggles with self-regulation, keeping up with content and feeling isolated from fellow students or others.
Images of schedules, timetables and technology feature prominently, with many documenting difficulties in studying while dealing with other COVID-19 stresses like grim world updates, panic-buying and fear of what would happen to themselves, as well as their family and friends.
