July 9, 2021 announcement from The Program in Translation and Intercultural Communication (PTIC):
The Program in Translation and Intercultural Communication (PTIC) has named Neil Blackadder, Sean Bye, Jeremy Tiang and Saskia Vogel as Princeton University’s translators in residence. Each of the four translators will be joining the Princeton community for one semester over the course of 2021-2023.
“The position of translator in residence seeks to bring in professional translators who are currently working outside the university context to give our students a different perspective on the process of translation and on the life of a full-time translator,” said Karen Emmerich, associate professor of comparative literature and director of PTIC. “As a sequential group, these four amazing translators will help us build on existing strengths of the program and also help us forge new connections with other programs on campus”
The PTIC program resides within the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies, which provides support for translation workshops, guest lectures, study abroad and new courses. The Translator in Residence position is also supported by the Council on the Humanities and the Lewis Center for the Arts.
