Event 5: Feminist Translation Network: Scratch Night

Date and Venue: Friday 9 May 2025, 7-8pm UK time, online

Our fifth event was an online translator scratch night hosted by the Feminist Translation Network and the Emma Press.

Translators Anam Zafar, Elete Nelson-Fearon, Georgia Wall, Marilyn Booth, Ruth Donnelly and Seán McDonagh read from a range of works-in-progress. The translators discussed some of the challenges and opportunities they have encountered, in relation to the question of feminist translation.

Their translations will appear later in the year in an anthology published by the Emma Press which will be launched at the Birmingham Literature Festival in October 2025.

This event was co-organised with the Emma Press and was funded by an AHRC IAA grant.
