Join CSEEES for our annual Graduate Choice Speaker Lecture. Each year CSEEES' MA students are invited to select a speaker and/or topic of their choice to add to CSEEES' lecture series. This year we will be joined by Ellen Elias-Bursać who will discuss how one becomes a translator, the sorts of jobs translators do, working with editors and publishers, working as a translator during wartime, and more.

She worked for six years at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugloslavia in the English translation unit and wrote a book about the ways translation and interpreting shaped those trials.
