#AWP21 Raising the Volume, Women in Translation

Join moderator Nancy Naomi Carlson and award-winning translators Aviya Kushner, Andrea Jurjevi?, Katherine E. Young, and Sharon Dolin for a vigorous conversation centered on their experiences in the world of translation, the realities of modern translation, and the expectations imposed on women and nonbinary writers across different cultural communities, countries, and continents. In addition to these topics, the panelists will discuss advocacy work they have performed on behalf of the women and nonbinary authors they translate. Hear shocking statistics about women writers worldwide, an inspiring story of a woman poet who became a published author in her nineties, and learn about what actions must be taken to actively support women writers from across the globe.
