response to the canceled 2020 edition of the school at Brandeis University—only partially substituted by the online-only WeSSLLI 2020—we have invited the instructors scheduled for the 2020 school to teach as part of the 2022 edition. Almost all accepted our
offer. Because of this, we will not be issuing a call for course proposals this year. </span></p>
