Nearly everyone’s lives in this province were disrupted in March 2020 when the Alberta government decided to shut down schools in an attempt to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus. For me, the quarantine thwarted my original doctoral research plan to work with my middle school participants to develop our peer-topeer duoethnographic conversations. The immediate suspension of in-person schooling and the frenzied move to online learning for all Alberta schools required adjusting my well-crafted research plan in order to move those conversations to an online platform. It also forced me to rely on the help of the allies I had found within the school, both the staff and the youth themselves, to obtain the data I had determined was essential to my study.
