For this MLA Convention 2022 the MLA Committee on Scholarly Editions invites everyone to a roundtable discussion about doing editing differently.
Topic: Editions make canons by defining what is worth editing, by whom, and by what methods. We welcome presentations on projects that are disrupting or redirecting editorial content, practices, or media.
