If you do, please contact me or another member of the current ExCo with a brief proposal. We will discuss them at our January ExCo meeting and select the best. This Forum will have two guaranteed panels in 2016, and may propose two further panels (non-guaranteed). We are eager to hear your ideas, so fire away! MLA deadlines are quite far in…[Read more]

Christopher M. Lupke replied to the topic Your support for new Asian fora needed! in the forum East Asian Languages and Literatures to 1900 on MLA Commons 11 years, 7 months ago

Colleagues:

You do not need to post in support for the creation of the East Asian Lang and Lit to 1900 or EALL after 1900 forums (or fora). They already exist. You do need to post in support on the respective pages for the PROSPECTIVE fora:

2 Japanese

3 Chinese

1 Korean

Please find the prospective forums you wish to support and post in to…[Read more]
Melek Ortabasi started the topic Instructions for signing petitions in the forum East Asian Languages and Literatures to 1900 on MLA Commons 11 years, 7 months ago

Hello everyone,

Thanks to those who have signed the petitions for the prospective fora. As there seems to be a little bit of confusion about how to navigate to/sign the petitions, however, please allow me to post some instructions:

If you can read this, you are logged into the Commons, which is the first step. Next, you need to know the names of…[Read more]

Dear Melek Ortabasi,

How does one navigate to the petitions for these 5 fora on the MLA website? I’m afraid this is not immediately clear to me.

Thank you,

Melek Ortabasi started the topic Your support for new Asian fora needed! in the forum East Asian Languages and Literatures to 1900 on MLA Commons 11 years, 7 months ago

Hello everyone, another PLEA TO SIGN THE PETITION(S) SUPPORTING THE PROPOSED NEW FORA. We are under-enrolled in all of the proposed Asian fora (except for Korean — nice work folks!), which means that they will not be established. This would be a shame, since we have the potential for much more participation of Asianists at the MLA with fora in…[Read more]
