Literary Translator Lectures

In 2024, TS Hub launched the Literary Translator Residency program. The week-long residency, held during the Spring Quarter, hosts an internationally known translator and includes workshops, a masterclass, and a large public lecture. The residency centers translated literature and highlights translators as creative agents who make it possible to encounter literature from around the world. The residency is made possible by the generosity of Lee Scheingold, a strong advocate for the Humanities at the University of Washington and cherished member of our community. Scheingold’s support provides invaluable annual opportunities for major literary translators to engage directly with students, faculty, and audiences from across the Pacific Northwest.
