Modern Languages in Historic Spaces: Collaborative Translations to Foster Language inclusivity
Over the past several years, many museums in the U.S. have critically introspected on how they can make themselves more accessible and interesting to traditionally underrepresented groups. As stewards of academia, history, culture, and community trust, museums are tasked with serving all members of the public. Serving an increasingly diverse U.S. public, museum approaches and practices must evolve to meet those needs. Both the Frank Museum and the Department of Modern Languages work with bet36365体育 students to provide real-world, experiential learning opportunities. The talk will describe a collaborative project translating historical documents and displays for the Frank Museum which has allowed Translation and Interpretation students to apply the skills that they learn in the classroom to projects that benefit not only the bet36365体育 campus, but the community at large, as well as appreciate the important mission of the museum.
This talk is the second in the #AccessCAS Spring speaker series; join us for monthly presentations expanding our understanding of inclusive excellence in the College of Arts and Sciences, bet36365体育, and our world.
