Membership
The Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association is a scholarly association designed for those teaching or conducting research in a diverse range of literary, linguistic, and cultural interests, both ancient and modern, in the United States and abroad. PAMLA members include faculty and students in language and literature departments in colleges and universities, as well as interdisciplinary scholars from other disciplines and independent scholars.
PAMLA membership entitles you to receive to the annual calls for papers, conference information, the annual e-newsletter, an annual copy of Pacific Coast Philology, the right to post academic announcements of interest on the PAMLA website (by emailing them to the Executive Director), and highly useful professional information.
In order to attend PAMLA’s annual conference, you must pay both the annual PAMLA membership fee and the separate conference fee: you may now do so at one time by paying a combined Membership/Conference fee.
The PAMLA membership year runs from January 1, 2010 - December 31, 2010.

PAMLA uses the Acteva online payment service, which allows you the convenience of filling out the important membership information and paying for your membership and convention registration online. The Acteva payment system is more accurate, easier to use, and completely safe—Acteva is a private, secure site; your personal information is never shared with anyone. Almost all PAMLA members now use the Acteva payment system to pay their membership and conference fees, and we’d like to encourage you to do so as well. However, if you do not have access to a credit or debit card, you may download and fill out the PAMLA membership form, and mail it in.
If you have any questions about using the Acteva payment system, please feel free to contact PAMLA’s Executive Director, Craig Svonkin at: svonkin@netzero.com
Thank you for support of PAMLA.
