Translation Now Conference

“Translation Now” will mark the fortieth anniversary of BU’s Literary Translation Seminar, and will feature a really extraordinary group of participants discussing key issues in literary translation today.  Rather than formal papers, the participants will deliver short remarks, followed by what we hope will be spirited conversations on a series of key issues in literary translation.  We welcome participation from the audience as well as from other participants. Rosanna Warren will deliver the keynote and the conference will end with a panel of Translation Seminar Alumni reflecting on the conference and on their experiences in the Seminar. 

 We invite you to take a look at the program and the participant bios on this website 

We are grateful for the extraordinary level of support from BUCH as well as 23 different departments, programs, and offices around campus that has made this event possible.
