Welcome to the website for the graduate student conference entitled “Building Culture(s): A New Era in Translation Studies”, to be held on Saturday February 5, 2011 at Glendon College.
The aim of this conference is to explore the role of translation in fostering, promoting, protecting and connecting the different cultures of the world in the context of multiculturalism and globalization. In Canada for example, translation plays a central role in the protection and development of the country’s original indigenous cultures, and is also central to the promotion of the nation's other minority cultures.
For all inquiries please contact the organizing committee at translation.anewera@gmail.com.
Selected papers from the conference have been published with Antares. The book is entitled "Building Culture(s): the Impact of Translation and Translators".
