NHA Study the Humanities Toolkit
Designed to aid college and university members in making the case for the humanities on campus. Study the Humanities aggregates resources for higher education faculty and administrators to use in making the case for the value of studying the humanities as an undergraduate. The five main sections of the online toolkit are organized around overarching arguments for studying the humanities, and they provide the data—packaged into charts, data points, profiles, and articles—that can be used to bolster those arguments. These arguments cover the career-centered benefits of studying the humanities along with the benefits that extend beyond the marketplace.
Webinar 2 of 3: Creating More Just and Inclusive Learning Experiences
Webinar: Creating More Just and Inclusive Learning Experiences
This was the second in a planned series of webinars on Racial Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the Linguistics Curriculum. The webinar took place on Thursday, August 20, 2020, from 3:00 to 4:30 PM EDT. The webinar was ASL-interpreted. Please read on for a description of the webinar and panelist bios.
Mary Bucholtz (University of Caliornia, Santa Barbara) is a sociocultural linguist with a strong commitment to interdisciplinarity; in addition to her position in the UCSB Department of Linguistics, she is affiliated with the Department of Anthropology, the Department of Feminist Studies, the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education, the Comparative Literature Program, and the Latin American and Iberian Studies Program.
Bucholtz' research focuses primarily on how social identities and cultural practices are brought into being through linguistic interaction. She has investigated this question in relation to race, gender, and youth identities as well as within the context of how undergraduate science and math students become socialized into scientific cultures through peer interaction.
Her current research seeks to explore the diverse forms of language and culture within California, especially in collaboration with graduate and undergraduate students as well as youth and educational partners in the Santa Barbara area.

Webinar 1 of 3: Centering Linguistic Diversity and Justice in Course Design
LSA Webinar Series: Racial Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the Linguistics Curriculum (first of three webinars)
This series of LSA webinars considers how linguistics instructors can give a more central role in their courses to scholarship from and about members of historically underrepresented groups and design them to be inclusive of diverse student backgrounds and experiences. They consider the entire linguistics curriculum, including subfields where concerns about representation and inclusion have not generally been in focus, and are being organized by representatives of a number of LSA committees, including Karen Adams, Emma Asonye, Claire Bowern, David Bowie, Lynn Burley, Catherine Davies, Kristin Denham??, Jeff Good, Mary Hudgens Henderson, Argyro Katsika, Sonja Launspach, Wesley Leonard, Anne Lobeck, Miranda McCarvel, Nathan Sanders, Lynn Santelmann, and Teresa Satterfield.
Ideas for additional webinars in this series are welcome. Please contact Jeff Good (jcgood@buffalo.edu) if you would like to suggest a specific webinar topic or if you have any questions about this series.
