Rocky Mountain 
Modern Language Association

This year's electronic voting process yielded Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association's largest election participation ever! Congratulations to the newly elected officers, who take office effective January 1, 2022: 

  • Vice-President: Marshall Lewis Johnson, University of Nevada, Reno
  • Faculty Delegate-At-Large: Géraldine Fiss (許潔琳), University of California, San Diego
  • Graduate Student Delegate-At-Learge: Mary Sullivan, University of Wyoming

Thank you to all candidates and write-ins who participated in this close election and to all members who voted.

We also announce that the Call for Papers for the 2022 Convention in Albuquerque, New Mexico is now available on our website: www.rmmla.org/proposals. Many of the sessions are continued from last year, so please double check the CFP and make sure that your session chair information is correct. We have added some last-minute special topics, and we have added space to allow an additional six Special Topics sessions, so let us know by Feb 1 if you wish to propose any additional special topics sessions.

 Remember, the 2022 convention in Albuquerque celebrates the 75th anniversary of our association's founding in 1947 in Albuquerque, so it will be quite a special event. Start writing your papers now and plan to attend this extra special version of RMMLA's Annual convention. We hope to see you there,

What is RMMLA?

The Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association (RMMLA) is a non-profit membership organization, established in 1947, that promotes the study and teaching of language, literature, and culture. The Secretariat and Directorate of the RMMLA is hosted by the University of Wyoming. 

The RMMLA has approximately 900 faculty, student, and independent members coming primarily from Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, eastern Oregon and Washington, western Texas, as well as the province of Alberta, Canada, though many other states and provinces are represented in the RMMLA membership lists, not to mention several international members! We have approximately 75 library subscriptions to our refereed journal, The Rocky Mountain Review, with print and Web-based distribution. The journal is indexed by several important scholarly indexes, and is included in the  JSTOR project and Project MUSE at Johns Hopkins University. RMMLA holds an annual convention, usually in early October, attended by over 600 of our members.
