HackMDCollectively Translating as Care
Welcome to Collectively Translating as Care, where the spirit of collectivity and feminism guides our exploration of literature loosely connected to the idea of translation. We are excited to embark on our journey with "Eco-Translation" by Michael Cronin. This book delves into the intersections of environmentalism, translation, and cultural understanding, emphasizing how language can bridge diverse perspectives and foster a more sustainable world. As we read together, we aim to cultivate a space of inclusivity and mutual support, celebrating diverse voices and perspectives. Join us in this collective endeavor to deepen our understanding and commitment to eco-feminist principles and global solidarity.
