Land Acknowledgement

I begin this From the Editor with acknowledgement that I write from the traditional land of the first people of New Hampshire, the Abenaki past and present. I honor with gratitude the land itself, and the indigenous people who care for it. I frequently find it grounding to remember that even digital space is indigenous space. That includes the servers and the ground holding the cable towers and so on. Since the majority of people reading this paper are located elsewhere, I invite you to name and acknowledge the indigenous people, if you feel called to do so; and to consider our responsibilities as good guests on indigenous lands.

This issue of WORK contains 38 articles, eight of which discuss COVID-19 and work. Other topics include: cell phone texting, working old-old, low-grade systemic inflammation, job stress, Unemployment and mental health, computer workstations, among other topics.
