[Linganth] resources on COVID for teaching Language and Health

[Netta Avineri]

Thanks Lynnette. Great to have this space to share resources/ideas.

A few things that might be useful...

My colleagues and I are co-teaching an interdisciplinary course on COVID-19
this semester, and this week we are having the students watch this great
webinar from colleagues (and Glenn Martinez is speaking with the class
tomorrow):
https://u.osu.edu/languageaccessresearch/ (“Reclaiming Language access in
US Latino communities during COVID-19”)

Jena Barchas-Lichtenstein and colleague John Voiklis from Knology did an
awesome guest video/lecture about numeracy, and these sources are very
useful in that regard:

Eric Johnson also did a really great video/lecture about metaphor analysis
and public discourse, including drawing from COVID-19 sources about
education.

A few other sources that might be useful as well:

   engagement (Links to an external site.)

   3. Social Distancing and the Culture of Semiotics of Contact (Links to

Dear colleagues -

This year, I am adding a week on Language and Health to my Intro to Ling
Anthro course and hoping to assign materials that look at this intersection
in the case of COVID.

I have found some resources already (see short list below), but want to
make sure I'm not missing anything fantastic since this is an emerging area
of research!

Short news or popular articles are welcome in addition to more academic
fare (that is still accessible), and any video resources would be
especially useful.

I am happy to compile resources to share with the list. Here's what I have
so far:
-Language on the Move blog <https://www.languageonthemove.com/blogpage/> -
many posts
-Special issue of Multilingua
<https://www.degruyter.com/view/journals/mult/39/5/mult.39.issue-5.xml>
-Special section of Language, Culture, and Society (volume 2:2 - should be
out soon!)

Thanks in advance,

--
