As many of you will have heard, Resolution 2014-1 got 60% of the votes cast but did not reach the minimum of 10% of the total membership required (by a recent rule) in order to be officially adopted. Thank you to all who voted. I attach an op-ed by David Lloyd that to my mind gives a good sense of the meaning of the event:

Thank you to everyone who voted on resolution 2014-1. As you will have heard, the resolution got 60% of the votes in its favor but did not pass because it did not reach the minimum of 10% of the membership required (by a recent rule). This still counts as a major victory. I attach an op-ed by David Lloyd:

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]

I’m writing to encourage people to vote on the Israel resolution (right of entry for Americans of Palestinian and Arab descent). I co-sponsored it, so obviously I believe it’s a good and fair and appropriate thing, but I think you will agree if you take a moment to look it over. Voting ends at midnight on Sunday. traditionally MLA resolutions hav…[Read more]

Bruce W. Robbins posted an update on MLA Commons 11 years, 8 months ago
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]

Glad to see so many terrific calls for papers for #mla15 on the Commons! If you’re proposing a session, the Commons is a great place to post an expanded CFP, respond to questions, and spark a discussion at any point in the convention planning process.

MLA members may be interested in a new call for papers at #Alt-Academy on power, privilege, and social identity. Editor Lisa Knisely seeks essays and articles on the role of social identity, such as race, gender, class, and sexuality, in alternative academic careers.

Hello, the paper is by Thom Bryce (@tbryce); I merely posted it on his behalf. Please do get in touch with him on the Commons! Apologies for the confusion.

thanks, Katina! will do!

I’m struck by the juxtaposition here of Thom Bryce’s paper on grindr and Cheryl Higashida’s earlier cfp for the special issue on ‘Sexing the Left’. Arguably, the former demonstrates the timeliness, and urgency, of the latter.
Thom’s conclusion – that, despite some reservations, a commercial, profit-driven form of new communication such as grind…[Read more]

I’m among the 1500, but what worries me more than the opposition is the apathy of those who did not care to cast any vote. Not that we are much different here in Poland… Thank you for your post.
