The sorrow and outrage of protesters in Minneapolis following the murder of George Floyd reverberates in #BlackLivesMatter protests around the world, while the pandemic itself has disproportionately impacted Black and Brown communities. A virus that confirmed how inter-connected we are reminds us of longstanding inequalities. As citizens and scholars, many of us are facing unusual strain and difficulties. Given these political circumstances and individual challenges, it is all the more meaningful that so many of you elected to participate in our Organization’s 32nd annual conference. This conference was supposed to take place in Amsterdam. It was a difficult decision to move it online. But based on an encouraging survey of our members, we decided that a virtual conference was the way to go—and we have done our best to reproduce the intellectual rigor and the social energy our conferences are known for. Thank you all for your patience during the period of transition, and thank you for having this adventure with us! One of my goals as this year’s SASE President was to integrate issues central to the global South into our conversations. The theme of the conference is, “Development Today: Accumulation, Surveillance, Redistribution.” The issues covered by the Presidential speakers and featured panels, including inequality, populism, labor precarity, technology, and race, are even more relevant today than we imagined when we started the planning. As events unfolded, we thought it was essential to have two additional panels, on COVID-19 and on #BlackLivesMatter. I hope you will join us in these events. Many of the programs that SASE is known for will take place on our virtual platform, including the Early Career Workshop, the Women and Gender Forum, and Social Sciences for the Real World. This year, for the first time, we are offering a 90-minute methods workshop on “What can AI do for (and to) the Social Sciences?” Regrettably, social events had to be cancelled or postponed. Most importantly, we were hoping to celebrate Martha Zuber’s retirement. No virtual party could do justice to Martha’s contribution to SASE. We decided to postpone it for next year, when, we are hopeful, we will all meet in person again. Many people put a lot of effort into making SASE and the annual meeting a success. Special thanks for those responsible for planning the conference in Amsterdam, who had devoted much time and effort for a face-to-face meeting before COVID-19 made it impossible— Daniel Mügge, Zahra Runderkamp, Liesbeth Robinson-Hasewinkel, and Brian Burgoon. I am SASE 2020 Virtual Conference – Development Today: Accumulation, Surveillance, Redistribution 6 grateful to my colleagues on the program committee—Rina Agarwala, Daniel Mügge, and Diego Sánchez-Ancochea—who have organized the featured panels and Presidential talks. There is much invisible labor in making SASE work—chairs and members of committees, ad-hoc groups, organizers of existing and new initiatives—I am grateful to all of those involved. Most of all I would like to thank Akos Rona-Tas, Sigrid Quack, and Nina Bandelj, who have served on the Executive Committee in a particularly demanding year. Much work, as usual, has been done by Martha Zuber, Pat Zraidi, and Jacob Bromberg—thank you! This is an experiment. Our thirty-second conference but our first virtual one. I hope you have a positive, fulfilling experience—and I hope we will be able to compare notes, face-to-face, next summer!
