David Martin translated Spanish documents for asylum cases, in collaboration with the U-M Language Resource Center and the Immigrant Justice Lab. He also participated in translating the journalism of Emilio Gutierrez-Soto, the Knights-Wallace Journalism Fellow whose asylum case has been featured in the national news. David comments he would like to pursue this type of translation further, because “it is of direct relevance to my doctoral research project, as I am interested in the ethical questions surrounding migration, globalization, nationalism, borders and capital.”
