Due to the uncertainties created by the Covid-19 pandemic, the WLA has decided not to hold a conference in 2021. Instead, there will be a variety of individual virtual events.
We gratefully acknowledge the support from the Kansas State University English Department and the Georgia State University English Department for these events.
We would also like to thank Lisa Tatonetti and Audrey Goodman, our WLA Co-Presidents, for handling the logistics surrounding the 2021 events in addition to hosting our conference in 2022.
Please direct any questions you might have regarding the 2021 virtual engagement events to Sabine Barcatta.
