Poster for the event

Join Us For A Dialogue with Mary Gallagher

Surviving in Translation: Why the Translingual Arts and Humanities Really Matter Now. A Dialogue with Mary Gallagher”

The dialogue will address the place of translation and translingualism more broadly in one scholar’s ٰé of the twentieth- and twenty-first-century university. It will take a personal, positional approach to that story of living, working and ‘surviving’ a whole lifetime in translation and to the reasons why translingualism matters so much for the present and future health of the Arts and Humanities and the polities that they feed. Rather than a formal talk, this session will take the form of a dialogue, and attendees will be encouraged to engage by sharing  their own reflections and questions as they pertain to the future of the Arts and Humanities, and languages,  translation, translingualism. 

The dialogue will be in English, but interventions in French also welcome. 

Thursday, March 19, from 3-4:30, in the ICSLAC seminar room. 

Registration is not required, but please let Catherine know if you are planning on attending by sending an email: Catherine.Khordoc@carleton.ca
