Please RSVP here. The Translation Studies Hub at the University of Washington aims to coalesce energies on campus and beyond by building on existing and emergent faculty and graduate student research projects, courses, and initiatives in public engagement around translation. Tangible outcomes include increasing the visibility of current research and promoting new research in translation studies, program building at the graduate level (with follow-on effects at the undergraduate level), and creating additional/alternative professional pathways for graduate students.
