Scholars and Translators at UMass Amherst

The Translation Center maintains a special relationship with the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures. However, there are faculty members in other departments who translate or write about translation as part of their scholarly work. As the Translation Center seeks to acknowledge the many ways of engaging with translation in an academic setting, we wish to acknowledge the faculty members at our institution who think deeply about translation. If you don't see your name here, please let us know!
