ALTA45 Roundtable: Literary Translation in Mexico, Canada, and the United States

The presidents of the Canadian, Mexican and US literary translation associations (ATTLC, Ametli, ALTA) will be joined by three members of each association. The roundtable will first provide a profile of each association and then discuss ways we can improve communication among ourselves, developing training and mentorship programs, advocacy, and we will explore each association's wish list for collaboration: the possibility of translation residencies, in-person meetings in Canada and Mexico, approaches to translation of indigenous languages, and other ideas for ways we can collaborate. Our goal is to come up with a consistent structure for working together which can carry these ideas forward.
