Monika Dix posted an update in the group
LLC East Asian on MLA Commons 8 years, 11 months agoI would also be interested in participating in this discussion, especially addressing the issue how to convince more East Asian specialists (faculty & grad students) to join the MLA. How can the MLA serve as a complementary platform or provide something very different from conferences such as AAS?
