Teachers should read Found in Translation: How language shapes our lives and transforms the world by Nataly Kelly and Jost Zetzsche before attending this online event.
“Translation. It’s everywhere we look, but seldom seen—until now. Found in Translation reveals the surprising and complex ways that translation shapes the world. Covering everything from holy books to hurricane warnings and poetry to peace treaties, Nataly Kelly and Jost Zetzsche offer language lovers and pop culture fans alike an insider’s view of the ways in which translation spreads culture, fuels the global economy, prevents wars, and stops the outbreak of disease. Examples include how translation plays a key role at Google, Facebook, NASA, the United Nations, the Olympics, and more.”
The first 25 Wisconsin K-12 public school teachers who register for this event will receive a copy of the book.
