Group Work Stories on Pandemic 2020
The Social Work with Groups journal is inviting narrative essays of 5 to 9 manuscript pages, about group work practice and the coronavirus pandemic of 2020. Please read the following instructions very carefully.
Your story can take place in any setting and with any population in response to the pandemic.
A narrative essay is a story written about a personal experience. Writing a narrative essay provides an opportunity to get to know and understand oneself better and to shed light on an experience that may illuminate its meaning for others.
One of the best ways to reveal who you are is to tell a story about how you became aware of something, gained a new way of seeing the world, a new insight.
Your group work story should illustrate the interaction among group members and between group members and group workers in a way that brings group encounters regarding pandemic 2020 to life in a compelling way for readers.
Your story should highlight what was learned from the experience that might be useful for readers who are practicing, teaching, or researching group work in clinical, community and other contexts.
Submissions may reflect the perspectives and experiences of researchers, educators, field instructors, students, practitioners, advocates, agency administrators, or trainers.
Or, if you wish, you may tell a story that reflects your role as a group member in any number of contexts (such as, staff or faculty group, club or team, social movement, therapy or recovery group, and so forth) and, then using your group work knowledge expand on lessons learned.

However, please do take careful note that the length of manuscript for this special issue is being reduced from 15-20 double spaced manuscript pages to 5-9 manuscript pages. Your story SHOULD NOT include citations or references. Please do include a brief abstract and keywords.
Naturally, traditional manuscripts on group work and the pandemic of 15-20 pages with citations and references are always welcome through the usual means of submission, however this is a special call to invite even wider participation from aspiring authors who might prefer to tell their story in a different way than writing a scholarly article.
If you are interested, you might look through past issues of the Journal, as there are several recent issues that are presented in short story format (e.g. Volume 40:1/2: Group Work Stories Celebrating Diversity & Volume 43:1/2: Group Work Stories of Social Justice). This will give you ideas of different ways to tell your story.
Please take note that any submission that exceeds 9 double-spaced manuscript pages in 12-point font with one-inch margins, or that includes citations or references will not be considered.
In addition, your manuscript should be emailed directly to the Editor-in-Chief at his email address (see below) AND NOT through ScholarOne.

As the three-week national lockdown comes to an end on April 14, India may be headed to an extended period of lockdown and/or concentrated partial lockdown. The sudden yet necessary announcement by the Government created a chaotic and massive movement of migrant workers to their rural homes. Despite several measures announced by the government in retrospect, the period continues to prove most harsh to the migrant workers and others who live a hand-to mouth existence.
The Pandemic which originated in a wet market in Wuhan, China has taken the lives of more than 114,000 people globally with the highest mortality rate in the United States followed by Italy, Spain and several other countries in Europe. Even in these countries, the worst hit are the poor and the marginalized communities.
While the challenges are daunting, this lockdown period has also provided a time for reflection for those who are privileged enough to have a roof over their heads and do not have to worry about getting food to the table.
The pandemic’s origin traced to a wet market catering to demands for exotic and endangered wild animals besides traditional livestock in Wuhan, China goes to show that it is born out of irrational human desire and greed. There is an inherent lesson for us all to be less greedy and take only what we need and not just what we want from nature.
The Chinese government used its state machinery to effectively control and conceal the facts on the ground in the crucial initial phase and the world lost on valuable time to respond quickly and effectively to the pandemic. The need for transparent and accountable government not only to its citizens but to the humanity in times such as this cannot be overemphasized.
The outbreak made us realise what and who really matter in times of crisis. Four most essential things for basic human existence that all governments should ensure for its citizens: Food, water, shelter and health care. Without access to clean water and food, it is absurd to educate masses on healthy living and eating. Social distancing is a privilege many in the refugee camps, slum areas and suffering from poverty do not enjoy as they cramp in small spaces. Since we live in an interdependent world, when the poor get sick, we get sick as well.
More than ever before, the world realised that it is actually the health workers, the grocery sellers and the essential services providers who really matter in such times of crisis. Hopefully the necessity of investing in proper health facilities with equal access for all has dawned on many countries where these facilities are inadequate, to say the least. Measures for improving the lives of essential service providers must also be a priority.
While the world was beginning its battle with coronavirus, groups of people from various religious communities in many parts of the world including South Korea and India were congregating in large numbers, resorting to divine powers, at the cost of ignoring lockdowns and appeals for social distancing and self-isolation. Many of these gatherers became force multipliers for the virus. A clear lesson emerged from these congregations that divine powers can provide solace only if we learn to be ethical and responsible citizens first.
On a personal front, the lockdown made me realise how little of actual personal paraphernalia I need to exist comfortably as I shifted my base temporarily. For the past 20 days, we have been consuming only vegetarian food and feeling healthier and more energized than ever before. This period has also proved to be a great time for regular catch up with near and dear ones, particularly family members besides personal indulges like reading and watching films.
Finally, the outbreak has been a reminder that we are just one of the species on this planet. Although the human species is suffering, most of the other species are thriving. The pandemic has provided a big relief to nature and to all its flora and fauna. There is enough credible information to show that all forms of pollution- air, water and noise – have come down drastically because of the lockdown imposed by many countries around the world. People around the world are posting pictures and videos of blue skies, clear mountains, bird sightings and butterflies fluttering.
