Students will learn how to use the fundamentals of Translation Studies to interpret the cultural, social, and political underpinnings of literary and artistic works produced in different geographical environments, with a particular attention to how questions of gender, poetics, ideology, class, and nation operate in translations. Students will also be exposed to the basics of translation praxis and will develop the interlingual translation skills needed to produce a wide variety of texts in translation. To qualify for the minor, students must have successfully completed a 4000-level language course or have proficiency in a second language.
