Thank you Ignasi for sharing this comprehensive list - and thank you to
colleagues who have written/contributed to this great list!

I am happy to share an Anthropology News piece my colleagues and I wrote
about an interdisciplinary course we co-taught about COVID-19 in fall 2020:
https://www.anthropology-news.org/index.php/2021/04/13/interdisciplinary-co-teaching-takes-on-wicked-problems/?fbclid=IwAR1fksHPpGUpu4Wv2SQrqWXlQICEJk1JVxSF4BlVHKvgcNVe9aEJbdh0IiQ

A special shout out to Eric Johnson, Glenn Martinez, and Jena
Barchas-Lichtenstein (and John Voiklis) for bringing in awesome linguistic
anthropological & applied linguistics perspectives through their guest
lectures in the course. :)

Best,
Netta
