Dr. Erzurumlu will start offering a new TIS course this fall! It's available both in person and online, and counts towards the TIS undergraduate certificate, MA and graduate minor degrees.
This course will explore the role of culture in translation and interpreting. Through discussion of primary texts, movies, and hands-on experience in translation workshops, this course aims to take students beyond the linguistic definition of translation and invites to explore translation in several media. It addresses the ways in which intercultural competence plays a role in translation zones including borders, museums, and diplomacy. Knowledge of a language other than English is welcome, but not required.
Please check Dr. Erzurumlu's short introductory video of this course.
