Feminist Translation Network
The Feminist Translation Network (FTN) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to explore what feminist translation means in practice in the twenty-first century.
In the first instance, our focus will be contemporary literary translation in English. The project will run over 2024-26 and is funded by a grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).
