Colleagues:
News from the Rocky Mountain Modern Language association. We have a new website: <http://www.rmmla.org/>. You can access it and renew your membership on line. The Call for Papers has been extended to April 1st, but we already have a huge number of submissions in Chinese Studies and East Asian Comparative Studies. We are on track to have about 15 sessions on Chinese and/or East Asian Comparative, with between 50 and 60 presentations.
The conference this year will be October 12-14 at the Davenport Grand in Spokane. I just stayed there and checked it out, and it is an amazing hotel. Staying at the Davenport Grand gives one amenities privileges at the Historic Davenport Hotel (about 5 blocks away), widely considered to be the best hotel in the Pacific Northwest (US).
RMMLA now has a listserve: <modlang-rmmla-request@uwyo.edu>, which is mainly being used for conference planning updates.
I look forward to seeing all of you presenting at the RMMLA Convention in Spokane this October!
