WLA and Modern Language Association

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

As of 2010, the Western Literature Association has affiliate status with the Modern Language Association. What does this mean for WLA? This affiliate status guarantees the WLA to be able to present a panel at each MLA Conference. The first such panel was presented during the January 6-9, 2011, MLA Conference in Los Angeles, California.

The next MLA conventions will take place in Chicago.

If you are interested in participating in a WLA panel at a future MLA Conference, please contact Elisabeth Bayley.
