“…Studies published in Gender, Work and Organization suggest that COVID‐19 has increased the gender gap in work hours by 20%–50% in the United States (Collins et al., 2021); increased the time poverty of Bangladeshi women (Sarker, 2021); increased women's exposure to intimate partner violence in South Africa (Parry & Gordon, 2021); and decreased women's well‐being in Germany (Zoch et al., 2021). Not all scholars paint such a bleak picture of women's experiences of the pandemic (Cano, 2022), nevertheless for many women COVID‐19 has intensified tensions between women's paid and unpaid labor (i.e., social provisioning and caring responsibilities; Ozkazanc‐Pan & Pullen, 2021).…”

When we wrote the call for papers for this special section on gender and resilience at work, we could never have anticipated the scale and scope of the crisis that was to come. During 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 and the steps taken to control the spread of the virus threatened both lives and livelihoods (Brammer et al., 2020). Medical professionals (Yarrow & Pagan, 2021) and people in already low-paid, and often precarious, service jobs (delivery drivers, cleaners, bus drivers) stayed at work, while other people worked from home (Branicki, 2020). For some, the combination of working from home and school closures resulted in the blurring of work-life boundaries (Adisa et al., 2022), leading to the need to combine work and caring responsibilities in spaces that were sometimes too small, lonely, unhealthy, or unsafe. We, like many other academics (Plotnikof et al., 2020), also felt the effects of the pandemic. Two of us juggled caring for children with transitioning to online teaching, two of us moved jobs, and one of us moved countries, at a time when (predominantly female) airline crews wore hazmat suits. From the outset, COVID-19 disproportionately affected those who were already experiencing economic and political inequalities (Ozkazanc-Pan & Pullen, 2020), with a United Nations (2020) report predicting that COVID-19 would reduce women's economic opportunities and set-back gender equity for years to come. Studies published in Gender, Work and Organization suggest that COVID-19 has increased the gender gap in work hours by 20%-50% in the United States (Collins et al., 2021); increased the time poverty of Bangladeshi women (Sarker, 2021); increased women's exposure to intimate partner violence in South Africa (Parry & Gordon, 2021); and decreased women's well-being in Germany (Zoch et al., 2021). Not all scholars paint such a bleak picture of women's experiences of the pandemic (Cano, 2022), nevertheless for many women COVID-19 has intensified tensions between women's paid and unpaid labor (i.e., social provisioning and caring responsibilities; Ozkazanc-Pan & Pullen, 2021).How organizations responded to COVID-19 was also revealing (Branicki et al., 2022), as the crisis highlighted the ways in which pre-existing socio-economic inequalities, individualist ideologies, and masculinist logics permeate the neo-liberal workplace (Wickström et al., 2021). Prior to COVID-19, turbulence in contemporary organizational environments (King et al., 2016) and endemic job stressors (Kossek & Perrigino, 2016) had already contributed to a significant rise in scholarly, policy, and practice interest in workplace resilience. Despite significant debate about how to define and measure resilience (Cooper et al., 2013), common conceptualizations focus on the characteristics associated with "organizational and employee strength, perseverance, and recovery when encountering adversity" (Linnenluecke, 2017, p. 4).In management and organization studies, resilience therefore tends to focus on the ability of individuals and organiza-

The purpose of this narrative case study was to re-present and re-story the experiences, particularly related to career navigation, of music teacher mothers in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. We explored how music teacher mothers had to adjust the balance between work, family, and personal life during the pandemic, in what ways the pandemic may have changed the way music teacher mothers parent, and how the pandemic may have affected, or already changed, music teacher mothers’ long-term career goals. Three participants, selected based on the diversity of their family structures, teaching backgrounds, and locations, shared their stories through a series of two interviews conducted via Zoom. Participants’ stories illuminated the relational, vocational, financial, and health-related struggles brought about by the nexus of teaching music during the pandemic. We explore resonances between their stories related to priorities, boundaries, career decisions, and financial considerations.
