“…Unfortunately as educators, we inadvertently perpetuate these challenges onto our graduate students, consequently contributing to their psychological demise. The pandemic has only aggravated these issues, with several reports revealing that graduate students tend to suffer from extreme levels depression, anxiety, and stress since 2020 (e.g., Bitter & McCrea, 2022;Opoku et al, 2022). This crisis serves as a poignant reminder underscoring the pressing need for a paradigm shift in our approach to higher education and mentorship-one that is rooted in care and empathy.…”

“…The COVID-19 pandemic is not only a medical event but also “a social event that is disrupting our social order” (Teti et al, 2020, p. 1). In the academic research process, data collection was the element most likely to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic (Ahluwalia-Cameron, 2022; Donohue et al, 2021; Opoku et al, 2022). With the unforeseen challenges for data collection during the pandemic, researchers need to quickly adopt new and creative approaches in data collection while adhering to the standard and integrity of scholarly research (Torrentira, 2020).…”

Collage inquiry is an arts-based research approach that encourages researchers and participants to exercise nonlinear thinking. The purpose of this article is to present a collaged storytelling of my qualitative data collection experience during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the academic research cycle, data collection was most likely to be affected by the pandemic. Using my data collection digital footprints as primary materials, I reflected on my collage-making steps and the unexpected insights and learning emerged in the process. The collage-making process enriched my understanding of qualitative research and my scholarly identity as a responsible qualitative researcher.

This chapter describes and analyzes the experiences of indigenous students of higher education during the COVID-19 pandemic. They are undergraduates of the bachelor's degree of elementary education who attend a public university located in the north of Mexico, as part of an affirmative action policy that began in 2017. Through the phenomenological method, with an interpretative framework and qualitative approach, this research examines the testimonies of 15 key informants using in-depth interviews, in order to convey the academic challenges they went through during the school lockdown and isolation period of the health emergency caused by the SARS-COV-2 virus, including the development of their dissertation to obtain their degree. The chapter reveals the extreme difficulties they experienced due to the lack of suitable computer equipment, internet connection, and absence of an adequate digital competence. For the ones that had to do their thesis report in order to graduate, having to write their theses in a second language meant an additional obstacle as well.
