Inaugurated in 2002 by the late Professor Jed Deppman, the Jed Deppman Translation Symposium is a fast-paced, multilingual event that celebrates literary translation and showcases our students’ linguistic, intellectual, and creative talents as literary translators. The Symposium consists of two events: a student reading (on April 8) and a keynote address (on April 9) by a renowned literary translator. This year’s keynote speaker is Katrina Dodson, the translator of Clarice Lispector and Mário de Andrade.
