Date and venue: Tuesday 12 May 2026, 2pm – 3.30pm @ The University of Birmingham (Alan Walters Building G11, Edgbaston campus) and online
The current phase of the Feminist Translation Network concluded with a roundtable to discuss some of the insights which emerged in response to the FTN’s guiding questions:
- What is feminist translation? (how does it differ – or not – from translations by women/of women, or from queer translation/gender-inclusive translation?)
- Is feminist translation a matter of identity or a matter of practice? If it is a matter of practice, is it the process of translation or the resulting text which can be described as feminist?
- What are the goals of feminist translation and whom is it for?
Speakers were:
- Peter Auger (English Literature)
- Kavita Bhanot (literary translator)
- Rosalind Harvey (literary translator)
- Gabriela Saldanha (Translation Studies)
- Elena Theodorakopoulos (Classics)
The event was chaired by FTN co-lead Hilary Brown.
We are grateful to the Department of Modern Languages at the University of Birmingham for funding the event.
