Translation on MLA Commons 10 years, 10 months agoGreat ideas—and I’m glad there is enthusiasm for this topic. If any of you have a particular area, field, or issue you’d be willing to write about, please do let me know. I’ll contact Erica Mena at ACLA, but if any of you have a contact at ATA or would be willing to facilitate an introduction to Gentzler, that would be really helpful.

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>
