VERONICA: TRUST YOUR GUT, FOCUS ON WHAT YOU WANT

“Trust your gut, as human beings, we have that knowledge within us, that we just know when we have a dream, and if you really focus into what you want to do and what you want it to become, you will become the creator of that.”

Translation has long been an indispensable part of the world of publishing and literature.

In this episode, we are joined by Esther Allen, writer, translator, and a professor at City University of New York.

The conversation begins with Esther recounting how she crossed her line with Spanish and French in her early childhood and youthful years. She then explains to us, from the perspective of a literary scholar, the linguistic landscape in the context of globalization, the dynamics of English and other dominant languages, and the importance of language legacy and linguistic diversity. Many interesting topics are sprinkled throughout: the difficulty of transplanting humor to another language, the “terminal speakers” of an endangered language, how a language becomes an “invasive species,” and why and how to attribute value to a language we don’t speak, etc. 

For more information about Esther and her translation work, please visit her website. If you'd like to go further into the world of translation, check out the 24 programs available through the online conference Translating the Future, which Esther co-curated with Allison Markin Powell at the Center for the Humanities at the City University of New York Graduate Center.

Atlanta is a city full of possibilities, and Lisa Babb is the kind of person who not only sees them all, but encourages others to see them as well. As an educator, Lisa teaches the next generation of designers that there is room for the table for them in this industry. And as assistant director at Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA), she also helps bring design and art into the local community.

Our conversation started off with a closer look at MODA and talking about how Lisa got her start as a designer and what eventually drew her to Atlanta. From there, we discussed the state of the design community here in the city, as well as how design education has changed over the years. If you're ever in Atlanta, head on down to MODA and say hi!
