Literature faculty member Bella Brodzki (BA, Sarah Lawrence College; MA, Hebrew University; PhD, Brown University) currently teaches an undergraduate seminar, Translation Studies: Poetics, Politics, Theory, and Practice. The course’s point of departure is that all interpretive acts are acts of translation, that the very medium that makes translation possible—language itself—is already a translation. While this year-long course covers multiple forms of translation and their various challenges, this special event for Friends of the College will focus on audio books as a mode of translation.
