a welcome from your hosts
Chris Jespersen, University of North Georgia, TSA Chair
Welcome to TSA 2021, the virtual experience. Most conference attendees have already experienced what has become the new normal of virtual conference going, and, as much as all TSA members would prefer to meet in person, we are fortunate to be able to continue the annual conference in this modified format. I am especially appreciative for our friends at ISCTE and all the work they have done to get the conference organized. Thanks also to the program committee. It’s an exciting program, and it will offer the opportunity for TSA members, both new and old, to discuss their research and exchange ideas using the digital technology available to us. We will be back together soon enough, but in 2021, we will have the distinct and memorable experience of conversing virtually. Thank you and enjoy.
Luís Nuno Rodrigues, Director, Center for International Studies, ISCTE, Lisbon
We would like to welcome all participants at the TSA 2021 Conference. If not for the unexpected development of the pandemic we would have met a year ago in Lisbon, for the 2020 conference. Unfortunately, the current context still does not allow for that possibility, which means that the 2021 conference will take place in the same virtual format that we all have all been using for classes and other academic activities for the last year and a half. It is therefore with mixed feelings that the Center for International Studies of ISCTE, University Institute of Lisbon, co-hosts this year’s TSA Conference, because we would really love to share with you the sun and the light of mid-July in Lisbon. Nevertheless, we are very proud to be associated with this event, following years of collaboration with TSA and participation at the annual conferences.
