Abstract: Abstract The stories told in this book are by, and about, people who make their living communicating to an array of audiences and stakeholders who form a part of their professional life. We offer here three types of ethnographies of communication. One type takes the form of pure autoethnographies written from a personal perspective (Bochner & Ellis, Ethnographically speaking: Autoethnography, literature, and aesthetics (Vol. 9). Rowman Altamira, 2002). Others are ethnographic reports on analytic subjects, including university students, frontline emergency workers, and medical-school students. Still others are techno-ethnographies, which are social-scientific analyses of subcultures, without much attention to the emotion and personal orientation typical of ethnographies. We include all three types here, as all three offer valuable perspectives on that early period of the pandemic.
