The MLA is more than a membership
organization.

We are a forum for collaboration, a mainstay for educational resources, and a network that connects ideas and people. As the world’s largest association for humanities students, teachers, and researchers, we support languages, literature, culture, and writing. We deliver more than just benefits, tools, and opportunities to academics and administrators all over the world. We advocate for national humanities funding and take a stand for teachers at all levels.

Join today and find out why MLA membership means more for what matters most to you.
