“NeMLA is turning 50! Please come and help us celebrate our Anniversary Convention at the Gaylord National in Washington DC, March 21–24, 2019.

The theme of our 2019 convention is “Transnational Spaces: Intersections of Cultures, Languages, and Peoples.” It aims to challenge traditional notions of history, territory, and identity and to recognize the complex processes of trans-culturation that have characterized modernity.

As the capital of the United States, Washington, DC, plays an important role in shaping both national and global history. It is vital that NeMLA bring its convention to this seat of power in order to address the ongoing challenges we face in producing a world that values diversity, honesty, scholarship, and justice.

NeMLA is a vital and congenial organization whose membership includes both established and emerging scholars, and whose mission comprises mentoring and promoting the next generation of scholars.”
