Submit an Article
Members of the MMLA are invited and encouraged to submit articles to the JMMLA. Please note that the Journal no longer accepts submissions on open topics: Each Spring issue will be a single-topic special issue; each Fall issue will be devoted to papers building on the conference theme from the previous year. Please check our website for calls for submissions and deadlines under the Journal tab of this site.
Submit a Book Review
Book reviews help scholars keep abreast of their own and other fields, and choose what to read; they are also important for discussion of the state of scholarship. Members are encouraged to propose a review of a recent book of relevance to our readership. Please address proposals and inquiries to mmla@luc.edu.
