The information below is shared with the written consent of the MLA. It is not specifically for medievalists, but it seemed very valuable to me. There are 2 links: one is to a page of articles and other resources – available to everyone. The other is to a workshop for MLA members.
Thank you to Ms. Anna Chang, Director of Outreach, for permission to share this information.

The occupation of American cities and the escalation of violence against communities would be unfathomable if we weren’t seeing images in real time. Our friends and colleagues in Minnesota are living in a conflict zone, and those in Los Angeles, DC, Memphis, Portland, Chicago, New Orleans, and other locations have experienced invasions in a coordinated deployment of federal troops. As teachers, our impulse is to think of our students and to seek out ways to help them get through experiences that none of them should have to face. As a community, we can share resources that help us do this. With thanks to our colleagues who have contributed, we have put together a page of resources for teaching in times of crisis and tragedy. It includes materials on teaching the issues in the news, resources for supporting students through trauma, and sites for those who may be dealing with immigration concerns. |

On 11 February, we’ll be hosting an MLA Strategy Session to continue to share resources and advice, and we hope you’ll join us for that. If you have resources you’d like to recommend for the evolving page, please reach out to us at programs@mla.org. And please feel free to share the page with your colleagues in other departments. |
