Translation and Translatability at Bard

The Bard Translation and Translatability Initiative (BTTI) brings together scholars, practitioners, and students to explore translation and its discontents. Translation at Bard is read in both the narrower interlinguistic sense of moving meaning between two languages, as well as through an interrogation of the broad hermeneutic conditions at stake in questions of translatability.


Mission Statement

“The mission of the ATA’s Educators Division is to enhance the educational experience of translation and interpreting students by offering educators and trainers a platform to share knowledge, experience, and resources, and helping each other in becoming better instructors. ATA’s Educators Division emphasizes inclusiveness by connecting instructors of translation and interpreting at all different levels and language combinations, and it heavily depends on the collegiality of its members to fulfill its mission.”
