S-Writing the New World

This course offers a hemispheric and comparative approach to the study of Anglo- and Latin American literature and culture from the late fifteenth until the eighteenth century, from the age of exploration to the late colonial period. We will look at a wide variety of texts produced in the wake of European imperial expansion in the Americas (e.g. letters, journals, natural histories, ethnographies, captivity narratives and travel accounts) that chronicle the creation of the so-called New World.

Interpreting&TransResrch&Prac1

This course is the first of a two-semester course leading to a Certificate in Translation and Interpreting Studies. Students must have a strong command of English and an emerging proficiency in at least one other language to enroll. The course introduces students to current research in translation and interpreting studies and to basic practical skills. The task of translating and interpreting texts is understood to include a social, cultural and ethical component as well as a linguistic one.
