As part of this event, Dr. Judith Woodsworth, Laurentian University president, will make a presentation on her research work in the field of translation studies. She is co-editor of a book on the history of translation, published in French as Les traducteurs dans l'histoire, in English as Translators through History, and translated into a number of other languages.
Her work focused on relations between authors and their translators, and on the construction of nationhood and national identity through the translation process. In 1997, Dr. Woodsworth published Still Lives, an English translation of a novel by award-winning Québec author Pierre Nepveu.
The Women's Research Caucus will display the work of female faculty members who have published recently and honour researchers who have been successful in obtaining research funding.
Laurentian University's Women's Research Caucus promotes and celebrates research and academic endeavours conducted by women faculty and students.
