| Course Title: Artisanal and Artificial Translation |
| Start Date: 09/09/2026 End Date: 12/22/2026 |
| Term: Fall Semester 2026 |
| Description: One of the booming uses of artificial intelligence is translation. How does this communication revolution among highly resourced languages affect the age-old art of translating? We'll explore how Mount Holyoke's founding mission of "purposeful engagement in the world" centers linguistic diversity as integral to equity and inclusion. Celebrating the wealth of language each student brings our seminar, we'll discuss the translations we do and live every day. By confronting the human aptitude for multilingualism with technological affordances, our goal is to promote language justice and develop linguistic self-reflexivity through translation studies research and individual translation projects. |
