Sixth Translation Workshop
Translators of Modern Greek into English are invited to a two-day workshopThe Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies at Princeton University invites applications for a two-day Translation Workshop, to be held on April 28-29, 2025, focusing on the translation of Modern Greek texts into English.
The goal of the workshop is to encourage collaborative, creative thinking about specific projects, and also to further an interest in Greek literature as a growing field for literary translation. The organizing committee will select a small number of promising early-career translators with serious interest and demonstrated ability in Modern Greek.
The workshop will be run by Peter Constantine, a highly acclaimed professional translator from numerous languages, including Greek, and Director of the Literary Translation Program at the University of Connecticut; and Karen Emmerich, Associate Professor of Comparative Literature at Princeton and translator of Greek literature.
The workshop will focus primarily on pre-circulated texts of the participants’ own choosing.
Applicants are requested to send a CV, along with a brief statement explaining their interest in the workshop and their experience to date with translation from Greek. They should also send a sample of no more than five pages (single-spaced for poetry and drama, double-spaced for prose) of the translation they hope to workshop. In a separate file, they should also submit a copy of the Greek original text being translated.
Application materials should be sent to [email protected]
Deadline: Friday, February 28, 2025
