Th is issue is dedicated to the students and colleagues on both sides of the Atlantic who have made the Bowling Green State University– Paris Lodron University of Salzburg academic exchange program over the past fi y yea ft rs so transformative and enriching. Shortly aft er the World Health Organization declared that COVID- 19 was to be considered a pandemic on March 11, 2020, strict rules were placed on personal movement all around the world. More than 130 nation- states closed their borders and placed heavy restrictions on domestic and international tra- vel, prohibiting entry for almost all noncitizens (Banulescu- Bogdan, Benton, and Fratzke). Even within the Schengen Area of the European Union, which since 1993 has guaranteed free movement of its citizens across the borders of its member nations (today numbering twenty- six), a travel ban went into ef- fect for a number of months. While the travel restrictions within the EU did get loosened during the summer months of 2020, a travel ban for some non- EU members has continued to stay in eff ect (European Commission).
