The MHRA turns one hundred in 2018 - and we'd like you to help us celebrate.
The centenary will be marked by a series of centenary lectures across the country, as well as a special lecture by the 2018 President, Professor Marina Warner.
The MHRA was one of the first scholarly associations to recognise the value of interdisciplinary study, now central to so much of academic life. It is now a key source of financial and academic support for scholars in an area of the academy th...at is increasingly under threat on a national level, as Modern Languages in particular suffers a recruitment crisis.
Check out the list below - as well as our very special centenary page - to find out if a centenary lecture is happening near you.
Don't forget to follow us on Twitter @MHRABooks. And share your memories of the Association, and your experiences of the centenary events, using the hashtag #MHRA100.
