Meeting Description: 

In this interdisciplinary symposium exploring translation as a site of global
engagement, translators and scholars from around the world come together to
share their thoughts on the translator’s role as activist and advocate. The
daylong event includes discussions focused on decolonizing translation,
cross-border feminist solidarities, queer translation, and translation as a
radical democratic practice. The symposium also spotlights the work of two
keynote speakers. Dr. Nicole Doerr will discuss the ways in which political
translation can address structural inequality. Dr. Daisy Rockwell, translator
of Geetanjali Shree’s Tomb of Sand and winner of this year’s International
Booker Prize, will share her insights on the art of literary translation.
Throughout the symposium, we seek to articulate translation’s power to
transform our world.
