Someone Attend This Conference for Me and Take Lots of Notes
The conference, called “Continuing the Conversation: Bridging Civilizations Through Translation,” will take place in Qatar’s “Education City” May 19 and 20.
According to The Peninsula:
The plenary sessions[,] which are open to the public, will be devoted to various themed discussions including[:] ‘What Makes a Literary Translator and What Does a Literary Translator Do?’, ‘The Politics of Translation: Culture, Gender and Art’, and ‘Ways Forward: A Public Round Table of Plenary Speakers and Leaders’.
And:
In addition to attending the plenary discussions, groups of translators will meet in workshops with leading practitioners and educators to focus on various aspects of the craft in relation to Arabic/English and English/Arabic translations.
