There will be even more opportunities for intellectual cross-fertilization and conversations with colleagues at the 2019 annual meeting in Chicago, since the AHA and the Modern Language Association will both be meeting in the city at the same time.
As a reminder, the AHA and MLA will honor both conference badges at each annual meeting.
The AHA and MLA are pleased to announce this group of parallel sessions that will appear on both the AHA program and the MLA program. These sessions will have a broad interest for attendees of both the AHA and the MLA annual meetings.
