Spanish 391T - S- Beyond Bilingual

People will continue to move around the world by choice or because of human-caused and natural disasters. They bring their languages with them, and those languages meet others. At the same time, people create things and want to share them with the world. Translators, interpreters, and other language professionals help people share and communicate in all kinds of ways when different languages meet. This course brings together translation, interpreting, language services, related academics areas, and the language industry, to explore what lies beyond being bilingual. The curriculum includes readings, viewings, quizzes, practice, presentations, community projects, and interactions with professionals. Many of the examples involve Spanish. Students will see how an understanding of translation in our world can help them craft their intellectual and career choices and civic actions.
