About

Translation@Michigan is a home for many translation initiatives at the University of Michigan.

Coordinated by the Department of Comparative Literature, this blog highlights people and events around campus, dedicated to exploring questions about translation.

Where do we encounter translation in our daily lives?  What is translation? Who translates, how and why? What lessons do we learn from translating? How can we make translation more visible?

We approach these questions from numerous perspectives: critical and creative, interdisciplinary and international.  In this wider sense, translation is at the heart of our community, our university, and the world at large.
