Molly Des Jardin started the topic Lightning Class Presentations in the discussion

LLC East Asian on MLA Commons 8 years, 11 months agoI would also be interested in participating in this discussion, especially addressing the issue how to convince more East Asian specialists (faculty & grad students) to join the MLA.

Yes — please come! BTW — I’m not seeing my responses posted in the MLA Commons LLC East Asian. Can they make a more cumbersome online system?? Best wishes, Chris
