Who we are
The Center for Translation Studies was founded in 1978 to foster literary translation, promote communication between languages and cultures, introduce international writers to an English-speaking audience, and to underline the importance of translation studies in literature and language programs in the universities.
What we're fundraising for
The Center is currently seeking funding to publish special issues of Translation Review, to support students to attend translation conferences, and to develop new ways of interpreting poetic and fictional texts based on the particular techniques of the craft of translation.
Our impact
Our value to the campus is the opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to learn the art and craft of translation, which allows them to translate literary texts from foreign languages into English, greatly increasing the understanding of other cultures. The Center also connects with the larger Dallas community through the events we host each year.
