Russell Scott Valentino replied to the topic Call for Participants: Translation Site on the Commons in the discussion
Translation on MLA Commons 10 years, 9 months ago<div>This is a great idea. It would be great to get ALTA and the ATA involved with this, esp. as they are working on a database of publishers and programs, and ALTA’s new website (which will have some overlap with the info you list above) will launch in the next few weeks. I can help.</div>

Margaret Hanzimanolis replied to the topic Correction to the Record on the Delegate Assembly Vote in the discussion
MLA Members for Justice in Palestine on MLA Commons 11 years agoThank you all for the discussions.
One correction, Russell A. Berman (this claim was in another thread on the “other” MLA Commons Page) : Factually, I called for a suspension of a declared 15 minute break so that the DA could get to the MOTION on MLA governance and the inclusion of PTF, which I and others had spent many months developing, w…[Read more]

Margaret Hanzimanolis started the topic MOTION for more PTF in governance PASSED in the forum
Part-Time Faculty Members on MLA Commons 11 years agoWe were successful in moving that a PTF be a required member of the Executive Council! The motion, put forward by the radical caucus, also asked for more governance opportunities for PTF throughout the organization. The dominance of tenured faculty in the MLA is beginning to topple. Please get in touch with me at hanzimanolis@gmail.com if you w…[Read more]

Margaret Hanzimanolis replied to the topic Resolution to Endorse the Boycott of Israeli Academic Institutions in the forum
MLA Members for Justice in Palestine on MLA Commons 11 years, 1 month agoI am assuming that the agreement that this group made with the DAOC does not bind “other” groups or individuals from advancing a resolution similar to this one. How can the DA say that it will not entertain any resolutions before 2017 based on this agreement with a small group? Is that sort of pre-emptive maneuver not a violation of democratic…[Read more]
