One of the ways to respond to COVID-19 and its impact on history education is by studying it. In this regard, Yesterday & Today has already reacted proactively, having sent out a call for papers in March of this year for a special section in the December 2020 edition. The call, an extract of which appears below, is an authentic effort to come to some understanding, whilst being ‘in the eye of the storm’, of what happened to your history educational practices during this time. Yesterday & Today, an accredited open-access South African journal, with a focus on History Education, History in Education, History for Education and the History of Education, is calling for papers on the teaching and learning of history in the time of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. All papers will be subjected to a double-blind, peer-review process. Accepted papers will appear in the December 2020 edition of Yesterday & Today. Papers dealing with any aspect of teaching and learning history, in whatever form or format, in the time of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) will be considered. Apart from the more traditional scholarly papers, this special edition of Yesterday & Today is also interested in contributions dealing with: moving history teaching and learning online/ off-campus; position papers; conceptual papers; autoethnographic and self- studies; reports on history teaching and learning failures and successes; the ethical responsibilities of teaching in this time of crisis; the emerging #CoronavirusSyllabus initiatives; and curriculum and other educational innovations. Articles that highlight interdisciplinary collaboration on the teaching and learning of history will also be welcomed, as will articles that focus on teaching during and about the pandemic of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Apart from the academic articles that Yesterday & Today will carry concerning history education under COVID-19 in the December 2020 edition, special emphasis will also be placed on the ‘Teachers’ Voices’ section, which explores the experiences of history education lecturers, teachers and students. i Yesterday&Today, No. 23, July 2020 Editorial, pp. i-iv Recently, the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAF) made their draft peer-reviewed report on Yesterday & Today available.
