The Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association, one of six independent regional branches of the Modern Language Association, is a non-profit, professional organization, established in 1947 to promote critical inquiry, teaching, and research in the fields of languages, literatures, and the humanities by holding a convention every fall for the presentation and discussion of research in these and related fields, and by regularly publishing a print and an electronic scholarly journal, The Rocky Mountain Review. Members come from the Rocky Mountain region of the U.S. and Canada, as well as from several other states, provinces and countries.
