Translation Studies at UChicago is a central hub for coursework, publications, research, news, and campus events in literary translation and translation studies. It draws together the cultural and linguistic expertise of translators, creative writers, scholars, students, staff, and friends of translation from across the university—working in languages including Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Marathi, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, and more. We aim to promote the creativity and visibility of translators and to explore translation as a creative practice, field of study, and theoretical orientation.
