This Presidential Special Issue of ISR is unique in that it reflects upon a conference that did not take place. Unfortunately, the 2020 annual meeting of ISA was canceled due to the onset of the COVID pandemic. What would have been one of our largest and most diverse meetings yet went the way of so many of our plans for the year. But, rather than dwell on the negative aspects of losing our annual meeting, this special issue highlights both the theme of the conference and reflections on the COVID pandemic.

总统特刊“国际研究中的多重身份和奖学金”简介

ISR的总统专刊的独特之处在于它反映了未召开的会议。不幸的是，由于COVID大流行的爆发，ISA的2020年年会被取消了。这本来是我们规模最大，种类最丰富的会议之一，却阻碍了我们今年的众多计划。但是，本期特刊将重点放在会议主题和对COVID大流行的思考上，而不是仅仅关注失去我们的年度会议的负面影响。
