Panelists will leada translation theory workshop, including critical summaries of some of the most relevanttheories in Translation Studies, and activities for the audience.Ben Van Wyke:Rosemary Arrojo:Brian Baer:“Hidden Theoretical Assumption: Examples from Comparative Studies”“Theory as Practice—Practice as Theory”“Theory, Practice, and Pedagogy”thursday (cont.)3:30 – 4:45 p.m. Literary Translation & Creative Nonfiction(Bausch and Lomb Parlor)This panel will consider the ways in which nonfiction writing might serve as a productiveanalog for translators.

The panelistswill speak about the practical aspects of planning their workday, and their insights will nodoubt fascinate those of us who constantly scramble to make time for our own translationprojects.Jamie Olson | Sean Cotter | Sibelan Forrester | Bill Johnston | Erica Mena | Russell Valentino15
