About the Journal

Edited and produced by a committee of MLA students and alumni, the journal includes scholarly essays, fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and other creative works. 

Publication in Tangents is an important vehicle for sharing ideas with our MLA community and the wider scholarly audiences. Tangents also is a showcase for a favorite paper, a scholarly work, or creative piece. To this end, our publication covers a diverse spectrum of topics that reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the MLA program and the broad talents of the MLA community.
