The 2022 NeMLA conference theme is CARE. We understand CARE as the practice of interdependency, admitting our vulnerabilities as humans, animals, and other living organisms of the Anthropocene. The NeMLA theme of CARE will embrace but not be limited to questions of representation, migration, the environment, and identity.

We are delighted to host, for our Thursday opening address, Valeria Luiselli. Our Friday keynote event will be given by Judith Butler. We look forward to seeing you in Baltimore!

Special thanks to the generous support of our local host institution, Johns Hopkins University, and our administrative home, the College of Arts and Sciences at the University at Buffalo.
