In these difficult and uncertain times, connection matters. As scholars, educators, students, and lifelong learners, many of us are feeling the weight of institutional upheaval, political instability, and the constant grind of academia in a world that often undervalues our work. That’s why PAMLA 2025 in San Francisco isn’t just another academic conference—it’s a moment of care, solidarity, and renewal.
This November 20–23, join us at the InterContinental San Francisco for PAMLA 2025, our annual gathering of minds and hearts. Beyond papers and panels, PAMLA is a space to see old friends and meet new ones, to laugh over coffee, to support one another through the uncertainties we all face. Think of it as a kind of scholarly family reunion: warm, welcoming, and absolutely essential.
We need spaces like PAMLA more than ever—places that remind us why we do this work in the first place, and who we do it with. Whether you’re a tenured professor, a grad student navigating an uncertain job market, or an independent scholar fighting to stay connected, PAMLA 2025 is here for you.
Come to San Francisco this fall. Come for the ideas, the community, the fun. Come because you deserve joy, inspiration, and camaraderie in a time when it’s easy to feel adrift. Let’s stand together, share stories, and remind one another: we’re not alone!
