ACLA (American Comparative Literature Association)

The American Comparative Literature Association (ACLA) is a professional organization that brings together scholars, students, and teachers interested in studying literature across different cultures and languages. Its goal is to promote the understanding of literature in a global context by encouraging research, discussion, and collaboration on themes, influences, and connections among texts from diverse regions. The ACLA hosts conferences, publishes academic work, and provides a platform for exchanging ideas about literature's role in society, fostering a broader and more interconnected understanding of literary expression worldwide.
