The Department of Comparative Literature is pleased to announce
A YEAR OF TRANSLATION, and invites proposals from faculty and students for special events broadly related to the theme of translation during the 2009-2010 academic year at the University of Michigan.

The planning team will consider requests for seed money or co-sponsorship (up to $1000) for translation events across campus (such as lectures, workshops, roundtables, conferences, public readings, performances, creative exhibits, and so on). Preference will be given to proposals that approach translation in an innovative way and that forge little-explored links between Comparative Literature and the co-sponsoring unit(s).

Funds will be distributed on a rolling basis until they are exhausted.


Proposals should be sent by email to translationcommittee@umich.edu with "translation year proposal" in the subject line and include the following information:

• The name, affiliation and contact information of the primary organizer.
  
  
• A summary of the proposed event, venue and invitees, along with a brief statement of its relevance to the theme of translation.
