Translation on MLA Commons 10 years, 9 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.

I can help.</div>
