Found in Translation: The Theory and Practice of Spanish - English Translation

This workshop will explore the theory and practice of translation, focusing on Spanish to English and, on a case-by-case basis, English to Spanish translation. Students will explore the main theoretical approaches to translation and the most common linguistic and cultural issues of Spanish into English translation through weekly readings, translation exercises of different text types, class discussions, workshops, and one conversation with guest speakers. This course aims to help students acquire translation skills between Spanish and English and become self-reflective about their translation decisions.
