         The 
          SCE runs several continuing research projects which operate through 
          meetings at the national and regional Modern Language Association conventions, 
          through special conferences, and through publication initiatives. 
  As an affiliate 
          of the national and the five regional MLAs, the SCE has standing panels 
          at conventions, making it possible for members to organize programs 
          on a wide variety of topics. Reports on current SCE projects may be 
          found in the links below. In addition to a description of recent and 
          up-coming activities, a brief history of each project is included, followed 
          by a listing of SCE sponsored conference panels. 
  We will continue 
          to post information about these projects here on the website, but members 
          should also feel free to contact the individual project coordinators 
          or the SCE directors for additional information. We welcome and encourage 
          suggestions for ways to develop the continuing projects described below, 
          but we also want to urge members to propose new projects. 
  The SCE will gladly 
          assist members in initiating these new projects and, when feasible, 
          in expanding them into continuing projects, both through logistical 
          and tangible support.  |
