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.

Translation on MLA Commons 10 years, 10 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>
