 I Give You Poetry (by Becka Mara McKay)

Welcome to NSTS 2015!

This marks the Nida School's ninth year of advancing research in translation studies through a transdisciplinary approach that draws on a wide range of perspectives and methodologies, and challenges traditional disciplinary boundaries, while encouraging consideration of religious discourse. 

The theme of this year's session, Leading Edges in Translation - World Literature and Performativity, will be explored by our two Nida Professors, Susan Bassnett and Sandra Bermann, in a series of six lectures, complemented by the presentations of a diverse roster of additional faculty. 

The site will become the hub of communication and activity as our time together in May draws closer. Take some time to get to know the group by watching the video introductions found here (Getting to know the NSTS Community), and then record your own brief intro so we can meet you too! Then be sure to check back often for the latest information, updates and topics of discussion, as well as to access advance reading materials which the faculty may make available.

We look forward to welcoming you in person when you arrive on the beautiful Italian Adriatic seacoast in May! In the meantime, click on the links below to read further important information about travel to and from Misano, as well as about various aspects of the Nida School itself.

Best wishes as you prepare for NSTS 2015!
