  • TRST 3010: New Translation Course in Fall 2016

    New course in Translation Studies: TRST 3010. Come learn and practice translation with Professor Peter Constantine, an internationally recognized award-winning translator!

    In this course students will look at an exciting range of approaches to translating literature into English. The class will read texts ranging from writers and translators of the ancient world to thinkers of the 21st century to discuss what a modern translator can learn from them. Students will choose a short text of a foreign prose writer and/or poet to translate into English, and over the course of the semester the class will workshop, edit, and refine the translations.

    In order to take this course, students must have a working knowledge of a language other than English.
