In the 3 years between the 2019 and 2022 International Studies Association (ISA) meetings, the profound state of global economic, social, and political upheaval around the world has become unavoidably evident for much, if not most, of the world. Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, movements for inclusion and resulting backlashes sprang up across the globe. As scholars of international affairs, the members of the ISA seek to understand and contextualize world events. However, our members and the organization itself are not passive observers of history. These struggles directly influence the personal experiences of many of our members, within and beyond our profession. For these reasons, ISA leadership felt that it was important to mark the 2022 meeting with a Sapphire Series panel to discuss ``International Studies and Struggles for Inclusion.'' The panel brought together ISA members from various sections and backgrounds to offer diverse perspectives on a host of topics: How does the field of international studies understand these developments? How do struggles for inclusion affect our members and community of social scientists? And perhaps most importantly, what should the ISA be doing about them, in terms of both scholarship and organizational decisions?

国际研究和争取包容

在 2019 年至 2022 年国际研究协会 (ISA) 会议之间的 3 年里，全球经济、社会和政治动荡的深刻状况对于世界上的大部分（如果不是大多数）来说已经不可避免地变得显而易见。在 COVID-19 大流行的背景下，包容运动和由此产生的强烈反对在全球范围内如雨后春笋般涌现。作为国际事务学者，ISA 的成员寻求理解世界事件并将其背景化。然而，我们的成员和组织本身并不是历史的被动观察者。这些斗争直接影响了我们专业内外许多成员的个人经历。由于这些原因，ISA 领导层认为，重要的是要在 2022 年召开一个蓝宝石系列小组会议，讨论“国际研究和包容性斗争”。该小组汇集了来自不同部门和背景的 ISA 成员，就一系列主题提供不同的观点：国际研究领域如何理解这些发展？争取包容的斗争如何影响我们的成员和社会科学家社区？也许最重要的是，ISA 在奖学金和组织决策方面应该如何应对？国际研究领域如何理解这些发展？争取包容的斗争如何影响我们的成员和社会科学家社区？也许最重要的是，ISA 在奖学金和组织决策方面应该如何应对？国际研究领域如何理解这些发展？争取包容的斗争如何影响我们的成员和社会科学家社区？也许最重要的是，ISA 在奖学金和组织决策方面应该如何应对？
