The Sherwood Fusion Theory conference has a 60-year history and has been held nearly annually for at least five decades. With theoretical and computational research directed toward fusion energy as an organizing principle, the typical Sherwood program encompasses a wide range of plasma physics topics pertaining to a variety of confinement concepts along with advancements in algorithms and numerical methods for fusion plasma simulations. Additionally, the typical annual meeting comprises roughly a dozen invited talks plus a small number of plenary speakers and several poster sessions. The program committee presents several awards each year to graduate (or undergraduate) students with outstanding poster presentations. Beginning in 2021, both invited speakers and student poster award winners were asked to submit manuscripts for this special collection, which combines contributions from the 2021 and 2022 Sherwood meetings.
