Event details

We are pleased to invite you to join panel discussion entitled, 'Translation and Language Revitalisation: Global Kurdish Literature', a conversation with scholars and translators of Kurdish literature into Polish, Italian, French, and English. The panel, chaired by Michelle Bolduc, Professor of Translation Studies, will discuss:

1- What effect does the market have on the publication of translations?
