We at The Translation Zone workshop are happy to invite you to our end-of-semester talk by Dr. Christi A. Merrill, Associate Professor of Comparative Literature, South Asian Literature, and Postcolonial Theory, University of Michigan. The title of her talk is the artistry and afterlives of anti-caste activism.

The hour-long event will take place at 4:00 PM on Friday, 4th December, 2020. Here is the Zoom link.

As a noted translator and anti-caste academic, Dr. Merrill will speak to us about translation practices in Dalit literature, her own translation work and publishing ventures, as well as larger questions concerning the identities of the author, the translator, and the publisher. You can find out more about her prolific body of translation work and teaching here.

We are very excited to be hosting her as part of our workshop and look forward to having you all join us for this talk!
