The JHU Translation Circle presents:

Joanna Trzeciak Huss: Zuzanna Ginczanka in Translation

Thursday, November 9^th at 6 pm in Gilman 479

This event welcomes Joanna Trzeciak Huss, a professor of Russian and Polish Translation and Translation Studies at Kent State University. She will share with us a selection of her translated poems of Zuzanna Ginczanka , along with her forthcoming publication of Ginczanka’s collected works.

Joanna Trzeciak Huss is a professor of Russian and Polish Translation and Translation Studies at Kent State University. Her research concerns collaborative translation, self-translation, twentieth and twenty-first-century Russian and Polish literature, and issues at the intersection of literature and philosophy. Her Collected Poems of Zuzanna Ginczanka is forthcoming from Zephyr Press.

The Translation Circle serves as a space where the JHU community can gather to take and workshop translation. This working group typically meets biweekly, with the meeting focusing on one or two translation projects shared by members. We emphasize the hands-on workshopping of translations, but broader questions frequently come into discussion. Occasionally, Translation Circle members might present completed projects and discuss the process, challenges, and joys of their work. We invite a guest translator to campus each semester to give a talk and/or workshop.
