The impact of the pandemic Covid-19 on students of Social Sciences of the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM) will be examined in order to establish a research agenda from a gender perspective. Testimonies and informal conversations reveal that emotional and cognitive wellbeing had been fundamentally affected given multiple losses, conditions of confinement, contraction of family budget that lead to the fracture of basic trust. In addition to this, the conduction of a questionnaire in April 2021 in conjunction with the Dean’s Office discloses difficulties in the management of time and lack of adequate conditions to study in addition to the increment of time invested in domestic labor and care work of dependent family members. The findings also show how the pandemic offers a big opportunity to recreate a new normality.
