On the first days of March we received notice that all activities at our Faculty in Lisbon had to close. No more classes, no seminars, no meetings: “Just go home. Now.” The Coronavirus had arrived. Actually, it had been on the radar for some weeks, but its irruption into our lives was sudden and brutal nonetheless. As we grappled with the new reality and tried to anticipate the future, a clear decision formed in the minds of everyone at the RUTTER team: we were determined to continue our research, come what may.
In the following days, the team dispersed geographically. Conferences and seminars were cancelled. Research trips to archives and libraries were postponed to an undefined future. Locked down at our homes in different places around Europe we learned to work in very different circumstances. “Reading Rutters” will document the activities of the RUTTER Project after the arrival of the Coronavirus. It is our story. It is the RUTTER story, and you are warmly invited to follow it. Sail on!
