American Comparative

The American Comparative Literature Association (ACLA), founded in 1960, serves as the principal learned society in the United States for scholars engaged in the study of multiple literatures and cultures, as well as the foundations of cross-cultural literary study. The organization promotes the exploration of intercultural relationships that transcend national boundaries, multicultural dynamics within societies, and the interplay between literature and various forms of human activity, including the arts and sciences.

ACLA offers a range of resources and programs, including membership opportunities, annual meetings, and awards such as the Horst Frenz Prize and the Owen Aldridge Prize. Additionally, the association has introduced a First Book Subvention Program to support member authors in publishing their inaugural works.
