Deadline: December 15, 2023
Mark your calendars! The 2024 Summer Institute on Translation Across the Curriculum will be held by the Center for Translation and Global Literacy at the University of Iowa (CTGL) and American Translation and Interpreting Studies Association (ATISA) at the University of Iowa, Iowa City on June 5-9, 2024.
The 2024 CTGL-ATISA summer institute, called The Undergraduate Curriculum: Programs, Courses, Activities, invites those constituencies in higher education that are in a position to promote translation as a global literacy skill and that want to incorporate translation into their teaching (e.g., instructors of world languages and literatures, comparative literature, creative writing, and general education) to participate. The summer institute is open to graduate students, faculty at all stages of their careers, and administrators, and will feature a combination of lectures, roundtables, syllabus design workshops, discussion sessions, and individual tutorials focused on
- understanding theoretical approaches to translation as asset-building pedagogy;
- designing and implementing translation-related activities, courses, tracks, or programs;
- exploring careers in the language industry and providing concrete training for students; and
- fostering a greater understanding of the asymmetries among world languages through comparative grammar and comparative stylistics.
Information regarding program costs, as well as application forms and biographies of the summer institute faculty, will be available in the coming months. For queries, email ctgl-connect@uiowa.edu.
