As graduate students we often find ourselves in the in-between spaces. No longer just students but not part of the faculty – working to professionalize but not recognized as professionals yet. Our experiences in this liminal space create the unique experience that crafts us into the scholars that we are working to become. This conference theme is focused on the concept of liminality both in scholarship and within our professional, classroom, and political spaces.

Reminder: "Chat with an Editor" at the MLA is back!

The Council of Editors of Learned Journals (CELJ) is pleased to announce an excellent mentoring opportunity at this year’s MLA Convention in Seattle. Interested participants can sign up for 20-minute, one-on-one meetings with editors from top scholarly journals to learn about every aspect of the publication process, from initial submission to Revise & Resubmit, from turning a dissertation chapter into an article to managing readers’ reports, etc. Graduate students and early-career scholars are especially welcome!

What do we want? A better world? A cleaner world? At this point, many of us might merely settle for a world that isn’t barrelling towards inevitable environmental destruction.  So, what do we want? Climate Action! What does climate action look like in the academy? It looks like the expansion of digital resources and the cultivation of better disposal and recycling habits on university campuses. It also looks like the cultivation of eco-critical theory and research. Earth is our home. It is the only habitable planet for us. Unfortunately, while it shows evidence of the brilliance of humanity, the state of the Earth also represents our greed and short-sightedness.
