About the Society

Abstract

THE MARGARET ATWOOD SOCIETY is an international association of scholars, teachers, students, and others who share an interest in the work of Margaret Atwood. The Society’s main goal is to promote scholarly study of Atwood’s work by providing opportunities for members to exchange information and ideas; as an official MLA Allied Organization, it meets annually in conjunction with the Modern Language Association convention. We often partner with other conferences, and we provide an annual journal and newsletters to our members. We also have awards for the best scholarship on Atwood in several categories, including best undergraduate essay, best graduate essay, best article, and best book.
