Date: Tuesday 6 May 2025 I Time: 1-2pm I Venue: THB-1001, The Bridge Room, Hardiman Research Building (HRB)
At this Translation Café event Astrid Huisman, the University of Galway’s Translator-in-Residence will discuss her Dutch translation-in-progress of Elaine Feeney’s second novel How to Build a Boat. Together we will explore translation challenges such as re-creating the author’s voice, realia, puns, and talk about how to stay sane while dealing with deadlines and random sentences that keep you awake during the night.
Translation Café is a monthly event run by the Emily Anderson Centre for Translation Research and Practice. It functions as a reading group for colleagues interested in the many facets of the art of translation. The format of the group allows participants to share their interests, research or linguistic investigations with other colleagues in an informal manner.
Colleagues interested in leading future Translation Café events are invited to contact Ira at irina.ruppo@universityofgalway.ie.
