It is a pleasure to write an occasional editor’s introduction for the latest issue of Theory and Research in Education, albeit at a challenging time. Over the last year-and-a-half, our journal’s community has shared in the difficulties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. From correspondence with readers, authors, editorial board members and reviewers, we are keenly aware of the extent to which our professional and personal lives have been upended by the coronavirus. University campuses around the world have seen closures, and, as I write, some are reopening only partially. Few are back to ‘business as usual’. Colleagues in all parts of the world have seen their teaching activity moved online and have had to make great efforts not only to redesign their teaching, but also to carry out their research and administrative work in new ways. We have also seen cancellations to the planned conferences, seminars and talks at the heart of our scholarly community.

编者介绍

很高兴为最新一期的教育理论与研究偶尔写一篇编辑介绍，尽管在一个充满挑战的时期。在过去的一年半中，我们期刊的社区分担了与 COVID-19 大流行相关的困难。通过与读者、作者、编辑委员会成员和审稿人的通信，我们敏锐地意识到冠状病毒对我们的职业和个人生活的影响程度。世界各地的大学校园都已经关闭，而且正如我所写，有些校园只是部分重新开放。很少有人恢复“一切照旧”。世界各地的同事们看到他们的教学活动转移到网上，他们不得不付出巨大努力，不仅要重新设计他们的教学，而且要以新的方式开展他们的研究和管理工作。我们还看到计划中的学术界核心会议、研讨会和讲座被取消。
