Abstract
This paper discusses the experience of working under the current COVID-19 conditions from my personal experience as a teaching stream faculty. The paper begins with a contextualization and description of the challenges of teaching stream workload prior to, and during, COVID-19. It is argued that universities should consider how gendered work intensification during COVID-19, combined with the challenges of working from home, may be impacting faculty health and mental wellbeing, particularly for women faculty. Some considerations for policy and practice are presented.
