Join QTE on the evening of Thursday 6 February for a translation slam with Spanish-to-English translators Michelle Geoffrion-Vinci and Lawrence Schimel.
Geoffrion-Vinci has published a feminist translation of poetry by the nineteenth-century Galician writer Rosalía de Castro; while Schimel’s translation work includes women’s writing for the Feminist Press, including the first Equatoguinean women writer in English translation.
The slam will be followed by a symposium on Friday morning when we’ll explore questions relating to teaching. Why and how might students be introduced to ideas about feminist literary translation in universities and schools? The panellists will be Stacie Allan, Peter Auger, Beth Caygill, Michelle Geoffrion-Vinci, Rosalind Harvey, Sophie Lau and Lawrence Schimel.
The event is organised in collaboration with the University of Birmingham, the Stephen Spender Trust, and the Queen’s College Translation Exchange.
