'This issue has certainly been produced under extraordinary circumstances. Many in the world are seeking shelter from the COVID-19 virus in their homes and learning new ways of working, and living, with limited social contact or time outside. Academics are teaching and researching online from home, and their children are learning at home. The editors of The Australasian Journal of Popular Culture have been in home isolation for some weeks now, with a blanket stay-at-home lockdown in New Zealand, and an only slightly less stringent order to similarly socially distance and isolate at home operational in Australia. In both countries, borders have been closed to international travellers with a strict quarantine regime enforced for nationals returning home. The global news industry and social media channels have broadcast inspiring stories of heroics and resilience as well as those of idiocy and the worst of human behaviour.' (Donna Lee Brien and Lorna Piatti-Farnell, Editorial introduction)
