Modern Humanities Research Association Offer of 3 Years' Free Postgraduate Membership To reinforce its commitment to young researchers (including mature students new to research), the MHRA is offering three years' free membership to all students registered for a higher degree in the modern humanities.* As members, postgraduates will receive a free copy of the Association's main journal, the Modern Language Review (including free access to its online version) together with a free print copy of the MHRA's Style Guide, the stylistic model for MA and PhD dissertations. They will be entitled to subscribe to other MHRA publications at greatly reduced rates. Postgraduate members will have an opportunity, through representation on the Association's committee, to influence the way in which the MHRA supports postgraduates in the future. For further information and application forms visit: http://www.mhra.org.uk. An organisation with charitable status, the MHRA exists to promote the highest quality advanced research in its constituent fields and to encourage co-operation across the humanistic disciplines. As well as being a major publisher in its own right, it supports external publications through a subventions scheme. It has a special commitment to supporting major editorial projects as well as work in those languages and cultures that are under-supported as fields of study. It promotes a broad range of approaches to the modern humanities, including work in the areas of gender studies, art history, cultural history, film studies, and critical theory. As a service to scholarship the MHRA has recently made its Style Guide available free of charge online. It can be downloaded from http://www.mhra.org.uk. Non-postgraduates interested in membership of the MHRA will find further information and contact details at the same website. Membership entitles researchers to receive the Modern Language Review (including free access to its online version), to subscribe at reduced rates to other MHRA publications, and, through representation on the Committee, to influence the MHRA's future initiatives in support of research. * For the purposes of the MHRA's charitable obligations, the modern humanities includes the modern and medieval languages, literatures, and cultures of Europe, including English and the Slavonic languages, and the cultures of the European diaspora. History, art history, and philosophy as narrowly conceived fall outside the Association's remit, but the study of language and literature is interpreted in the broadest sense to include an overlap with neighbouring disciplines, e.g. cultural history, wherever appropriate.
