Poster Presentations

NeMLA recognizes the significant contribution of visual presentations to the body of academic study of literature and other linguistic constructions. Posters can relay complex information in ways that text alone cannot.

This session is an opportunity for NeMLA scholars, including our yearly Summer Research Fellows, to share visual representations of their research. The format of the session allows presenters to display their work in a casual setting and to engage in informal conversations with convention participants regarding their work at a designated place and time.  

Participants from our Undergraduate Research Forum will display their posters alongside those of senior faculty and graduate students.

Have questions about how to design your poster for NeMLA? Read below, and if you have additional questions, please email support@nemla.org.
