Abstract: As I preparedmy presidential address, what came to mind wasMischel's (1977: 346) work on situational strength, when he asked: "When are situations most likely to exert powerful effects and, conversely,when are person variables likely to bemost influential?" Situations matter most when they are strong, as they constrain options and provide clear signals about expectations. My presidential year provided a strong situation in the form of COVID-19 and the surging visibility of racial inequality in society. Both of thesewere united in their focus on the absence of health-the loss of life from COVID-19 or from racist brutality.
