126th MLA Annual Convention
Los Angeles, 6-9 January 2011
The convention will begin on Thursday, 6 January, with preconvention workshops starting at 8:30 a.m. The convention ends on Sunday, 9 January, with the last sessions concluding at 3:00 p.m.
All MLA members and others involved in the study or teaching of language and literature must register in order to attend or participate in meetings, visit the exhibit hall, take part in the job service, or reserve hotel rooms at special MLA rates. The November (Program) issue of PMLA, which contains a complete list of more than 800 sessions, will be sent to all MLA members in mid-October.
Most English sessions and the Job Information Center are in the J. W. Marriott. Most foreign language and comparative literature sessions and the exhibit hall are in the Los Angeles Convention Center.
The Committee on Disability Issues in the Profession reminds attendees that refraining from using scented products will help ensure the comfort of everyone at the convention.
Future conventions will take place in Seattle (5–8 January 2012) and Boston (3–6 January 2013).
Early registration is now open for MLA members.
