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.
