| Course Title: Translating Language Diversity |
| Start Date: 09/04/2019 End Date: 12/17/2019 |
| Term: Fall Semester 2019 |
| Description: Linguistic diversity is too often silenced in debates about equity and inclusion. In our seminar we'll consider the languages of each student, remembering that language is a plastic identity that can be learned. We'll identify the translations in our scholarly, professional and personal lives and ask how does Mount Holyoke's mission of "purposeful engagement in the world" depend upon translation both on campus and globally? We'll also explore the role of translation in the communication revolution of A.I. tools given digital disparities and language privilege. Our goal is to define language justice and to develop linguistic self-reflexivity through individual translation projects |
