This session is proposed to run in a non-traditional format. Formal papers will be available here, in order to enable interested MLA attendees to read them ahead of time. The conversation at the session will feature very brief synopses of key points by each speaker, and then turn to discussion of connections between papers, as well as question-and-answer with attendees. It is our hope that this format will facilitate greater depth of discussion across papers, which in turn will enrich both the on-going research work of these scholars and the larger conversations in which their work participates.
