“I highly endorse this timely and unique publication.  While much of the analyses of continuity in education during the COVID-19 pandemic focuses on the different ways in which digitalisation has ushered in new ways of working and organising, this book is original in many ways.  First, it provides a holistic understanding of higher education by considering contributions across a diversity of educational settings including classroom delivery, research, student well-being and administration among others.  Second, it focuses on a so far under-researched geographical area of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, specifically based on experience from the Sultanate of Oman.  Finally, and perhaps most importantly, it places emphasis on how pandemic response is socially-constructed and that to be resilient over time it has to align with historically formed institutional norms and local practices.   The in-depth analysis provided in this book will be of immense value for researchers undertaking comparative studies in different country and regional contexts. The in-depth insights obtained in this book suggest the need to improve networks between academic institutions and government agencies for improved learning about the crisis which can feed into policy. ” – Dr. Shirin Madon, Associate Professor of ICTs and Socioeconomic Development, London School of Economics and Political Science, United Kingdom

Unveiling Resilience: Navigating the Pandemic and Redefining Higher Education shares the academic practices that were adopted in national and international higher education institutions during the pandemic, and it presents the valuable lessons that were learned. The authors highlight interesting accounts of leadership and evaluate different synchronous and asynchronous methods of teaching and learning.
