The aim is to foster a broad discussion on how the Covid-19 crisis and related lockdown measures is affecting early career scholars in international studies across countries. This may include but also goes beyond disrupted fieldwork. We seek to collect best and worst case practice examples of academic institutional responses. We will discuss what new research avenues and practices are emerging in the midst of crisis, and will start a reflection on the changing nature of academic work and career trajectories.
