This first-year seminar will introduce students to the place and practice of
translation, mostly as it is seen from the perspective of the United States. It seeks to have students think about the ways in which translation is all around us and its importance in our everyday life. Students will also consider machine translation vs. human translation. Students will not only discuss these rich themes but also practice translation via specific assignments.
Knowledge of a language other than English is not necessary for this seminar, but will be
helpful.
