We wrote this article because we feel compelled to highlight that the current crisis can be a time of opportunity for imagining a different future for ECE as a field of practice. If viewed through a lens of hope, the current disruption offers openings intrinsic to this moment to ponder how fixes devised for the present can be reshaped, so they simultaneously advance ECE toward a mutually desired future (see for example Stoney, 2020). While certainly not the intent, by focusing on fixes attuned only to the present, the field reinforces its status quo and furthers its reputation as a reactive actor. But the field could instead choose to seize the opportunity made available by this moment in time by responding not only to the calamity of the present but also by moving toward a mutually desired future for ECE as a field of practice.
