Woon de openbare evenementen van de online ESLT Summer School 2022 bij

Tijdens deze Europese zomercursus staat het (verder) opleiden van de literair vertaler tot vertaaldocent centraal. Het thema van deze online editie van de ESLT Summer School is "Translators working with others" en daar passen de twee openbare evenementen perfect in.

Op dinsdag 6 september van 12.00 tot 13.00 uur onderzoekt Ros Schwartz de verschillende manieren van samen vertalen in de lezing "On the same page".

Op vrijdag 9 september van 9.30 tot 11.00 uur staat er een panelgesprek over vertalersverenigingen op het programma. Hoe kunnen zij vertalers voorbereiden op een professioneel bestaan? Moeten zij zich verenigen met collega's?

Vertaler Leonardo Marcello Pignataro zal het gesprek tussen Lara Hölbling Matković (CEATL), Johanna McCalmont (ETN) modereren.
