Meeting Description:

The students of the Master in Translation Studies at Glendon College, York
University, are pleased to announce the 9th Annual Graduate Student Conference
in Translation Studies to be held at Glendon College in Toronto on March 3,
2018.

Translation has long played a key role in processes of colonization, often
being used as a tool of the colonizer. However, as Indigenous peoples and
settler allies have progressively worked toward dismantling oppressive
institutions and divesting from colonial power, the function of translation
has increasingly expanded to include practices that give voice to colonized
and Indigenous peoples and move toward justice, reconciliation, and social
solidarity. This year's graduate conference aims to explore the complex,
dynamic relationship between translation and decolonization. 

Keynote speaker: Valerie Henitiuk, Concordia University of Edmonton
