The M/MLA is moving! (info here)

50th Annual M/MLA Convention
November 13-16, 2008
The Minneapolis Marriott City Center
Minneapolis, Minnesota

 

Please note: The Midwest Modern Language Association will remain in temporary post-flood quarters through the end of 2008, when offices will move permanently to Loyola University Chicago. For all kinds of reasons, email (mmla@uiowa.edu) remains the best way to get in touch.

Thanks to the university's attentiveness in forwarding, regular mail may still be sent to 302 English/Philosophy Building, The University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa 52242-1408.

The M/MLA's phone number also remains unchanged: 319-335-0331.

But the old fax number is back at last: 319-335-3123.

Thinking ahead to 2009? Feel free to contact the M/MLA’s new offices:

Midwest Modern Language Association
Department of English
Loyola University Chicago
6525 North Sheridan Road
Chicago, IL 60626
