UMass Amherst has suspended all in-person classes, including laboratory, studio, capstone and graduate courses, until the end of the semester. All classes are now being delivered remotely.
Additionally on-campus activity is currently severely limited and all events are suspended until further notice. The History Department is pursing possibilities to reschedule events to a later date and to hold some gatherings virtually. Department members are working as quickly as possible in these challenging times, and updated information will be posted here as soon as it's available.
These decisions come in order to support the civic efforts in our region to flatten the curve of the spread of the infectious coronavirus (COVID-19), and we thank you for your patience. Department members are not currently in their offices but can be reached by email.
