With the declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, academics in many countries moved rapidly to a model of working from home, and teleworking became the enforced mode of work. For some staff this was a positive experience with less travel time, while others struggled with new technology resulting in increased workloads and stress. There is extensive international evidence that these impacts were gendered, with more women, especially women with care-giving responsibilities, suffering detrimental outcomes. This chapter examines the challenges and experiences of working from home during the pandemic using data from surveys of over 5,000 Canadian and Australian academics. It focuses on two sets of questions — one asking whether academics’ experiences were positive or negative, and why, and one asking about the proportion of time people wish to be working at home — and investigates the reasons that drive positive or negative responses to working from home.
