“…One such study draws on findings from a cross‐Canada survey of university faculty, and found the pandemic has had a disproportionately negative effect on women and racialized faculty including hampering their career progress (Davis, 2021 ). Although Dahdouh‐Guebas and Vandebroek ( 2021 ) mentioned impacts of the COVID‐19 pandemic on scholars who participate in international study exchange and research programme, the focus of their discussion is placed on internationally mobile students rather than mobile academics or faculty members. While some attention has been devoted to the negative impact from the pandemic on university faculty's mental health and well‐being such as their struggling emotionally, socially, financially and legally more than usual (Bavas, 2020 ), very little is known of the unique impacts on international faculty.…”

The purpose of this study is to explore impacts of the pandemic on the academic activities and life of full‐time international faculty at Japanese universities, drawing on findings from semi‐structured interviews with them. Main findings include three points. First, although the vast majority of the interviewees believed that the pandemic has had more negative impacts on their academic activities and life, the case study of Japan suggests that there are both negative and positive impacts from the pandemic that are unique on international faculty's academic activities and life. Second, the study reveals that the impacts on international faculty vary according to the backgrounds of the interviewees such as their academic disciplines, countries of origin, and work roles and duties. Finally, participants may have experienced discrimination etc., but not felt comfortable talking about it. It seems that no interviewees, particularly those from China and other parts of Asia, experienced social exclusion and xenophobic attitudes and, at times, became victims of discrimination and verbal assaults.

“…Although some cross-border travel has resumed, it has still been substantially limited by travel restrictions and quarantine regulations. As a result, bilateral and multilateral face-to-face and field-based international exchanges and research activities have faced various difficulties (Dahdouh-Guebas & Vandebroek, 2020). At the same time, the global spread of information and communication technology (ICT) has been transforming communication methods in social work education and research (Huttar & BrintzenhofeSzoc, 2020).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has had a profound impact on people’s lives around the world, has also affected international social work practice and research on social issues. This article explores how international social work research can draw lessons from bilateral research collaborations during the COVID-19 pandemic. In May 2021, an international collaborative research project was commenced to examine the practical experiences of social workers in Sri Lanka, with the overall purpose of contributing to development of socio-culturally relevant social work training. Trial semi-structured interviews were conducted using remote tools with five social workers in government or private organisations. The narratives of the interviewees were qualitatively analysed to identify their personal backgrounds of social work education and practice, their experiences of working during the pandemic and their perspectives and values as social workers. Lessons learnt were discussed focussing on the objectives and perspectives of the study, the preliminary arrangements for the research, the methods and considerations. In a context where it is important for social work researchers to promote international studies during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, this paper provides an example of a feasible international cooperative study.
