Tanner Talk Series Latina Literature, Translation, and Research: Writing in/on/as Displacement

This lecture series will offer conversations, workshops, and exchanges with professionals who have built their careers around notions of displacement and translation. This includes literary writers born in or outside of the United States who publish in English, translators of Latin American writers, and researchers of migrants’ and undocumented persons’ rights and visibility. Our speakers’ work (and their passion) is to write in/on/as displacement, that is, within an initially unfamiliar cultural context (a different country, language, sociopolitical and educational setting); about this experience; and/or as a way of discovering and changing perspectives about oneself. Our next speaker is Karla Cornejo Villavicencio, writer and researcher joining us on Zoom. She is the author of the National Book Award finalist The Undocumented Americans (2020) and the novel Catalina (2024). Her work, which focuses on race, culture, and immigration, has appeared in The New York Times, The New Yorker, Vogue, Elle, n+1, The New Inquiry, Interview, and on NPR.
