Hope to see you at our last event of the academic year! The
announcement and program follow.



The Center for Translation Studies at Barnard College
Third International Conference
"Pedagogies of Translation: Current Methods and Future Prospects"

Friday and Saturday, May 4-5, 2012
James Room, Fourth Floor, Barnard Hall
Barnard College, New York City
Directions: www.barnard.edu/visit/directions

This conference brings together faculty who teach translation studies
in various forms to discuss teaching methods that are currently in
place, as well as the place and function of translation in the
university curriculum. In what faculties or schools, departments or
programs is translation situated? How does the definition of
translation depend on and vary with its institutional site? What
curricula have been developed, at the graduate or undergraduate level,
to support that definition? What career prospects are created by
studying translation at a college or university? The conference aims
to enable an exchange of ideas that can improve pedagogy, with an eye
toward creating lines of communication among departments, programs,
and institutions.
