Translating Human Rights - a podcast by Free Word

Join translator and academic Amanda Hopkinson who will present three South American authors she has worked with who never intended to address human rights in their work, but found
it impossible not to.
Professor Alison Phipps, lead researcher on Researching Multilingually at the Borders of Language: the Body, Law and the State at the University of Glasgow, will discuss the real life interactions that migrants face when fleeing their home countries. She will be joined by the project’s poet in residence Tawona Sitholé. Chris Gribble joins the panel in his role as the chair of the board of International Cities of Refuge Network (ICORN).
Samantha Schnee, Founding Editor of Words Without Borders, will chair the session.

With support from the AHRC “Translating Cultures” theme
