We’ve come to the end of the 2026 Translation Lecture Series—thank you to all the wonderful speakers who made it possible, and all of you took the time to join us.
In the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing a series of blog posts looking back on some of the lectures this year. Kicking us off is a post by 25-26’ MFA student Cheryl Ong on the lecture by Lin King (link to blog posts in highlights reel!)
