Appropriate Conduct at the MMLA Convention:
The MMLA Convention depends upon all participants (panelists, attendees, staff) conducting themselves in a professional manner. We are committed to ensuring a safe, welcoming, non-discriminatory environment for all participants. Additional details can be found on our member portal at https://www.midwest-mla.org/policies-and-restrictions.
Registration Desk:
The MMLA’s Registration Desk will be located on the third floor of the Alumni Memorial Union in the Lynch Lounge and will be open on Friday and Saturday from 8:00 A.M. – 5:45 P.M., and on Sunday from 8:00 A.M. – 12:45 P.M. Staff members will also be rotating throughout the convention site and would be happy to help answer any questions.
Membership and convention fees can be paid online at https://www.midwest-mla.org. Credit cards, cash, and checks will not be accepted at the Registration Desk.
Location of Meeting Rooms:
For all meetings and events, please refer to the locations listed in the “Location” section of each individual panel listed below. Floor plans for the Alumni Memorial Union are provided below as well
Virtual Sessions:
This year, we have a small number of virtual panels presenting on Friday and Saturday. All presenters for virtual panels will be presenting remotely, even if they are presenting in-person on a second panel. Additionally, for those in-person conference attendees that wish to attend a virtual panel, we have set aside AMU 448 for a mass Zoom join-in of the virtual panels, which will be streamed on projection.
General Panel Structure:
For MMLA’s 2025 Convention, panels with four presenters have been scheduled for hour-and-a-half sessions, which allots each panelist up to fifteen minutes to present their work before a thirty-minute, collective Q&A. Panels with three or two presenters are scheduled for hour-and-fifteen-minute sessions, providing each panelist fifteen minutes (or, in the case of the latter, twenty minutes) to present their work before the collective Q&A portion.
Professionalizing Sessions:
Presenters will discuss their own experience and what they have found particularly helpful along the way. Sessions are usually an hour and fifteen minutes long, permitting each presenter to speak before addressing questions from the audience for the remainder of the time.
Associated Organizations:
Because of shared disciplinary interests, the MMLA annually provides time and meeting space during its convention for panels of organizations referred to in the program as an “Associated Organization.” These panels are open to all who are registered for the MMLA Convention and display an identification badge.
Childcare:
Neither the MMLA nor Marquette University offer childcare services. Please make private arrangements for this service.
Americans with Disabilities Act:
Every effort will be made to accommodate registrants with ADA-related needs.
Future Conventions of the MMLA:
12–14 November 2026: voco Chicago Downtown, Chicago, IL
November 2027: To Be Announced
Proposing a Pre-Organized Panel for MMLA 2026:
A Pre-Organized Panel is a three- or four-paper presentation coordinated by an organizer and based on a unifying subject, which may or may not be related to the annual convention’s theme. While not required, should the organizer be so inclined, a Pre-Organized Panel with three or four papers may include a respondent. The organizer also has the option to include a paper of his/her own on the panel.
The MMLA happily posts subject-specific calls for papers on its member portal to assist organizers in their task. To request that we do so for you, please submit the following materials to [email protected] by Monday, March 16, 2026:
◊ Organizer’s Name, Email Address, and Affiliation
◊ Panel Title (15-word maximum)
◊ A Call for Papers Announcement
Individual-paper proposals to a Pre-Organized Panel are due to the organizer by his/her imposed deadline but no later than Tuesday, April 14, 2026. After soliciting, reviewing, and selecting individual proposals, all organizers must submit a Pre-Organized-Panel proposal to the MMLA by the May 01 deadline. The following materials are required for consideration:
◊ Organizer’s Name, Email Address, and Affiliation
◊ Panel Title (15-word maximum)
◊ Presenter Names, Email Addresses, and Affiliations

Workshop Description:
|
|
|
|
|
This hands-on workshop invites participants to co-create a mystory using AI, treating it as a creative partner. Based on the EchoKey Protocol, we’ll explore personal experiences, symbols, and emotional truths to form a shared story space. Inspired by Gregory Ulmer’s concept of “Mystory” as a collage of autobiography, pop culture, and public history, we’ll demonstrate how AI maps connections through deeper questions, helping you build your own mystory fragment. The session includes live AI interactions and examples from the EchoKey project. We’ll also discuss how emotional language shifts AI responses, reflecting something real. Ideal for writers, educators, and anyone curious about AI for storytelling and self-discovery. No prior AI experience needed.

Roundtable Description:
|
|
|
|
|
The reelection of Donald Trump has brought about a transformation of higher education on nearly every level—but the Trump moment has only intensified disturbing changes in our society, and how it educates young people, that have been simmering for decades. This roundtable’s panelists will speak about how they introduce students to historical perspectives that have been denied them, as well as make connections between our time and earlier, strikingly similar moments of danger. They will also speak about how public-facing creative work can re-engage student attention and deepen students’ historical understanding in an age of distraction and disinformation.

Roundtable Description:
|
|
|
|
|
This panel explores how scholars and educators locate and center joy in researching and teaching Black culture. While public discourse often emphasizes a “narrative of struggle”—portraying Black individuals primarily as passive victims of systemic racism—the panelists challenge this limited framing. Instead, they highlight the importance of recognizing how Black communities live, thrive, and cultivate joy despite oppression. Drawing from their own scholarly and pedagogical experiences, the panelists discuss how narratives of resistance, renewal, and cultural creativity honor the full humanity of Black life.

Session Description:
|
|
|
|
|
Earning a graduate degree – whether MA or PhD – in the Humanities provides a wide range of transferable skills – critical thinking, research design, ethical reasoning, writing, and teaching – that extend well beyond traditional faculty roles. Yet many graduate students may be less familiar with the diverse career paths open to them outside their academic specialization. Exploring alternative careers can broaden their opportunities in working in publishing, libraries, museums, nonprofits, higher education administration, and even the tech sector, while still promoting the humanities’ missions and expanding their research and outreach. These fields value humanities training – insight, communication, ethics, analytical and interpretive skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage complex projects. By reframing their academic experiences – emphasizing collaboration, public engagement, and proficiency with digital tools and pedagogies – they can discover meaningful roles that connect scholarship with broader communities. This session invites participants to reflect on their strengths, learn about helpful resources, and envision career possibilities beyond the traditional academic track.

Workshop Description:
|
|
|
|
|
This workshop gently introduces scholarly research practices that integrate close reading with computational or algorithmic methods in Literary Studies. The workshop will be framed around two text analysis examples focused on the authorship of modernist writers T.S. Eliot and Virginia Woolf. We will ask the following questions: Can an author command antithetical voices across different works? If so, how can human readers and computational algorithms detect and measure this duality, and to what extent? How might we (re)formulate our research questions if asked to statistically validate our interpretations? We will also discuss the strengths and limitations of both approaches.

“Humanities Futures”
Dr. Timothy Melley
Miami University
For all their novelty, recent attacks on the humanities are strikingly similar to older critiques. For more than a century, liberal arts education has weathered such challenges by adapting to emerging social needs. Our own crisis demands that we examine our professional attachments and thoughtfully rearticulate our deepest commitments. Using examples from a variety of universities, I offer a three-pronged institutional strategy and sketch a “new map of the humanities” to prompt reflection on how to make our work visible to a skeptical public.
Timothy Melley is Professor of English and Director of the Miami University Humanities Center. He is the author of The Covert Sphere: Secrecy, Fiction, and the National Security State (Cornell 2012), Empire of Conspiracy: The Culture of Paranoia in Postwar America (Cornell 2000), and numerous essays and stories. His new book, “Imagining Leviathan: Fictions of Democratic Security Society,” is forthcoming from the University of Minnesota Press.

Session Description:
|
|
|
|
|
From the first step of reaching out to editors and crafting a compelling proposal, to the practical work of negotiating a contract, submitting a manuscript, and guiding it through copyediting, typesetting, and production, authors are expected to manage a complex sequence of tasks that extend well beyond writing itself. However, with persistence, strategy, and an understanding of the field’s professional norms, publishing a book in the humanities is an achievable goal. This workshop offers participants an inside view of how book publication works in practice. It will emphasize both the technical aspects of book publishing and the collaborative relationships that sustain the entire process, such as interfacing with editors, reviewers, and production teams. Designed as an interactive conversation, the workshop will provide space for participants to ask questions, share experiences, and engage directly with the practical realities of academic publishing, offering guidance that will help them envision and navigate their own paths to publication.

Flyers are a key tool for reaching our audience and promoting Arts and Humanities events, but how do we create flyers that are both effective and accessible? This workshop introduces a conceptual framework for flyer design through the principles of visual accessibility. The workshop will begin with an analysis of some sample flyers through the lenses of visual hierarchy and readability. Next, we will demonstrate how to incorporate this framework into hands-on flyer design using Canva, a web-based graphic design tool that offers free, open-source, customizable templates.
