The <em>Tower of Babel</em>, painted by Pieter Brueghel the Elder in 1563, is one of the most famous depictions of what is often considered the origin myth of humanity's cultural and linguistic diversity. But the biblical story can also be interpreted as establishing the necessity of translation as an essential means of facilitating intercultural communication.
Center for Translation Studies Gift Fund
Your gift to the Center for Translation Studies Gift Fund will allow the Center to fulfill its essential missions — to provide support for students and to promote the visibility of the literary translator through translation workshops, world literature courses, scholarly publications, conferences and symposia.

Success Stories
“I decided to pursue my PhD at The University of Texas at Dallas specifically because of the Center for Translation Studies. Through the Center, I studied under leading literary translators and expert scholars of Latin American literature. The faculty and staff provided me with tremendous support as I worked toward my degree. In fact, I would not have earned my PhD were it not for the Center for Translation Studies.”
Joseph Brockway, alumnus
“I’m a fellow of the Center for Translation Studies because, as an academic institute, it focuses as much on practice as theory. This focus allows practicing translators not only a voice in the study of translation as an art and craft of human interaction, but also a place to confer and advocate for their collective interests and the general interest in their continued economic survival and flourishing. In a world built around the vagaries of commerce, the Center positions translation as vital, viable and ultimately indispensable — no small feat for a profession historically left in the shadows but hardly ever to its own devices.”
