Hello,
I'd like to add a piece I wrote last summer but which just came out online in Anthropologica today. It traces the shifts in attitudes and practices related to COVID through verbal art posted online from March to July last year.
https://cas-sca.journals.uvic.ca/index.php/anthropologica/article/view/229
Thanks for all the other great references people have put into this list!

Seconding Netta's thanks to Ignasi for compiling and all the colleagues who have worked on it.
If I may, adding one of my own - which parallels the talk Netta just referred to! Published in AA's Public Anthropologies blog: http://www.americananthropologist.org/2021/04/14/the-limits-of-official-statistics/

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:

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

Dear colleagues,
I have compiled the many references that all of you have shared, as we build together the emerging research on COVID-19 from a linguistic anthropological perspective. I am sure there are more references by now, please share them and I will update the compilation. Thank you for all your contributions,

Dear colleagues,
As the pandemic continues, I was wondering if we could share updates on references/publication/ research available on COVID-19 or SARS from a linguistic anthropology perspective and more generally from a language-focused perspective (conversation analysis, discourse analysis, and scholars sensitive to language from any discipline).
A few months ago, a few references already circulated, I can only remember two. I’m sure more were circulated back then and that more will have been published by now.

Hi Ignasi and all,
Ignasi, great idea! I am actually just finishing up an Anthropology News SLA section news piece on just this topic, which should be available online by March maybe? (I’ll be sure to share when it becomes available). In the meantime, here are some of the pieces I’ve collected that appear in the section news piece, in addition to the two you mention. Some of these are pre-pandemic pieces that are relevant, and then there have been a few other pieces published specifically about COVID-19.
