The Program in Translation and Intercultural Communication (PTIC) has announced Dong Li, Takami Nieda, Julia Sanches, and Yasmine Seale as Princeton University’s Translators in Residence. Each of the four translators will join the University community for one semester during the 2025-26 and 2026-27 academic years.
“We are truly delighted to host four remarkable translators working in so many different languages over the next four semesters,” said David Bellos (French and Italian), acting director of PTIC. “Students will profit greatly from encounters with professional translators working outside the academy and will gain insights into the process of translation in real-world settings as well as advice and mentoring on many aspects of their own translations.”
The PTIC program resides within the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies, which provides support for translation workshops, guest lectures, study abroad and new courses. The Translator in Residence position is also supported by the Humanities Council and the Lewis Center for the Arts.
