Prizes
As part of its ongoing effort to promote translation in all its forms across campus, the Dept. of Comparative Literature presents a series of three panels on the practice of literary translation. Campus professionals who all engage with foreign literature in the United States in various capacities will highlight the ways in which, beyond the work of translators themselves, a variety of professionals deal with the material implications of promoting foreign literature in this country. This series will allow students (both undergraduate and graduate) to come in contact with people working with literature outside of academia and will thus showcase potential alternatives to an academic career. Each of the three events will consist of a roundtable discussion devoted to a specific professional field and will bring together three speakers.
This panel will focus on prizes, specifically organizers and jury members of US literary prizes for translated literature.
