Hello! We've had to cancel this event for now due to an unforeseen emergency. We hope to reschedule in the future.

The Translation in Theory and Practice Series presents:

A workshop with Jason Grunebaum, Instructional Professor at University of Chicago, where he teaches Hindi language and literary translation; founder and co-director of South Asian Literature in Translation (SALT) to support and promote South Asian literature in translation; and winner of the very first Humanities in Translation (formerly Global Humanities) Translation Prize.

Jason Grunebaum's translations from Hindi include Uday Prakash’s The Girl with the Golden Parasol, The Walls of Delhi, and, with Ulrike Stark, Manzoor Ahtesham’s The Tale of the Missing Man. He has been awarded a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, and a PEN/Heim Translation Grant.
