Bruce W. Robbins posted an update on MLA Commons 11 years, 8 months ago
Please forgive me for being exceedingly tedious on the subject of the vote, which ends at midnight tonight. The bar of 10% of the membership that resolutions have to pass is a relatively new one, and arguably not a good one, given the general indifference (which those who proposed it probably were counting on). But it is still possible to prove…[Read more]

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).

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:
