Folks, I thought some of you might like to see this, especially as the deadline for August's MT conference in Elmira looms. Personally I would strongly encourage our beloved overseas scholars to submit and to come to Elmira in August. I can tell you that for me, having our wonderful overseas guests come and participate means a lot, and is always one of the highlights of the conference. The "International" part of the conference title is important to us all. PLEASE COME, and fear not: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/01/31/protest-trump-entry-ban-some-scholars-are-boycotting-us-based-conferences?goal=0_1fcbc04421-0f5839dc04-197446313&mc_cid=0f5839dc04&mc_eid=58f0af41d7 We all can see these are strange times in America; but PLEASE COME, and fear not: -hb -- Prof. Harold K.
