The COVID-19 Impact Project was conducted by the CUNY Humanities Alliance, generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, to document the impact of the pandemic, including related and interlocking impacts of economic, social and political structures. These contributions from graduate fellows at The Graduate Center, CUNY, represent a compilation of reflections and resources that document how doctoral education and college teaching have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This takes many forms, including written reflections, classroom activities, and modified syllabi.
The projects have been curated into four sections:
- The Impact of the Pandemic
- Syllabi
- Assignments and Classroom Activities
- Wellness and Care-Based Pedagogy
Please follow the links to find out more about each category and explore the projects.
