King’s Professor of Humanities, Dr. Dorota Glowacka, brings her venerable scholarship to an international panel discussion on Thursday called “Gendered Translations of the Holocaust.”
The talk, which also features Sara Horowitz and Matt Johnson, is part of the Holocaust Education Foundation of Northwestern University. Per the foundation’s event details, “HEFNU is excited to co-sponsor this online roundtable, which brings together three contributors to the forthcoming Cambridge History of Holocaust Literature. It discusses the relationship between gender and the translation of Holocaust texts by Chava Rosenfarb, Renia Spiegel, and Molly Appelbaum, among several other authors. It explores the gendered hierarchies and patriarchal practices shaping the global canon of Holocaust literature and how translation contributed to or impeded the production, canonization, and circulation of texts written by women.”

NOTE this zoom starts at 1 p.m. Atlantic, noon Eastern.
This roundtable is part of an ongoing series featuring original research from the Cambridge History of Holocaust Literature hosted by HEFNU and other institutions in 2025.
