Dr. Marko Andryczyk, lecturer of Ukrainian literature at Columbia University, conducted a translation workshop in Wroclaw
From 3 to14 June, 2024, a workshop titled “2024 Translating Ukraine Summer Research Institute” was held in Wroclaw. The event was attended by 30 participants from Europe, Canada and the USA, including experienced professional translators, as well as beginners who translate texts from Ukrainian into English. The idea for such a workshop arose from the need for more translations of Ukrainian-language materials in the English-speaking world. The classes were led by Dr. Marko Andryczyk, a lecturer in Ukrainian literature at Columbia University, together with author and poet Oksana Lutsyshyna (laureate of the State Shevchenko Prize, lecturer at the University of Texas at Austin) and American translator Dominic Hoffman. Representatives of publishing programs at the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute and the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies of the University of Alberta took part in the organization of the events. The workshop was financially supported by a number of academic institutions and Ukrainian public organizations.
