Have you ever wondered how translators and interpreters contribute to…
literature and scholarship you read for school or for pleasure?
subtitles, supertitles, and dubbing scripts in your favorite foreign films, TV shows, and live performances?
governmental negotiations, diplomatic meetings, and military and peacekeeping operations?
regional and international NGO programs and initiatives?
legislation and legal proceedings?
advocacy and activism campaigns?
art exhibitions in the world’s museums and galleries?
advertising for linguistically varied local and global markets?
journalism published and broadcast in numerous languages around the world?

Translators and interpreters are essential agents in global flows of art, media, research, policy, and commerce. This is why Global Liberal Studies, in partnership with the Department of Comparative Literature, offers a Minor in Translation Studies.
