ROUNDTABLE: Translation: The ‘Next Big Thing’ to Revitalize the Humanities?

Are translation studies the ‘next big thing’ to revitalize the Humanities? Where should they be housed within the academy?

Please submit 250-word proposals which address these issues and the growing importance of translation studies to Mary Sisler at msisler@langlab.rutgers.edu
