| As
an affiliated organization of the MMLA, the SCE has two standing
panels at each annual convention. For the past several years,
we've made use of these panels to hold a "mini-conference"--a
morning-long session devoted to a single topic, often with six
to eight presenters. Because the MMLA has a policy of circulating
papers in advance (as is also standard SCE practice), these sessions
are especially conducive to extended discussion, and often develop
into larger-scale projects. |
|
| All
SCE members are welcome, and encouraged, to make use of our standing
panels at the MMLA. Often, projects which get started with sessions
at the MMLA or another regional MLA evolve and grow, eventually
leading to MLA panels and stand-alone conferences. For more information,
click on "propose a project" in the menu bar. |
