Bruce W. Robbins posted an update on MLA Commons 11 years, 8 months ago
Please forgive this graceless appeal. The Israel resolution (Right to Enter) that I co-sponsored with Dick Ohmann is now being voted on. I think it’s a moderate and necessary gesture of support for our Palestinian and Arab colleagues who, though US citizens, have been denied entry to the West Bank to teach, do research, lecture, or attend…[Read more]

Prospective Forum: HEP Program Administration on MLA Commons 11 years, 8 months agoWe left it open precisely so MLA members could determine the scope. It could be about writing programs only, or it could include language program admins, DGSs, DUSs, and so on (so the sessions could vary year after year at the convention).

Prospective Forum: HEP Program Administration on MLA Commons 11 years, 8 months agoOne question I have about the focus of the Program Administration Forum is whether it will be specifically focused on Writing Programs, or more broadly cover administrative issues for all types of programs relevant to MLA members.
Either way, as chair of the Humanities Department and de factor Writing Program Coordinator (our department is…[Read more]

Common Core Standards Initiative Discussion Group on MLA Commons 11 years, 9 months agoLooking forward to hearing more about successful collaborations between HS and college instructors. I’m finding that such collaborations are often challenging because of the following barriers, so would love to see the MLA, or any organization, come up with strategies to address them:
1. HS instructors do not get release time to work on c…[Read more]

Glad to see so many terrific calls for papers for #mla15 on the Commons! If you’re proposing a session, the Commons is a great place to post an expanded CFP, respond to questions, and spark a discussion at any point in the convention planning process.

MLA members may be interested in a new call for papers at #Alt-Academy on power, privilege, and social identity. Editor Lisa Knisely seeks essays and articles on the role of social identity, such as race, gender, class, and sexuality, in alternative academic careers.

Hello, the paper is by Thom Bryce (@tbryce); I merely posted it on his behalf. Please do get in touch with him on the Commons! Apologies for the confusion.

thanks, Katina! will do!

I’m struck by the juxtaposition here of Thom Bryce’s paper on grindr and Cheryl Higashida’s earlier cfp for the special issue on ‘Sexing the Left’. Arguably, the former demonstrates the timeliness, and urgency, of the latter.
Thom’s conclusion – that, despite some reservations, a commercial, profit-driven form of new communication such as grind…[Read more]
