Join Nadia Niaz, Brigid Maher, and Laura Fritch for a lively discussion on the politics and practice of literary translation in Australia. What challenges do translators face in a country both far-flung and multicultural? In an age of digital connection, is Australia turning outward, or still looking in? Come and discover how language shapes what – and who – we read.

This event is organised in collaboration with the Australian Institute of Interpreters and Translators (AUSIT) and the Australian Association for Literary Translation (AALITRA).
