‘Explorations in Translation for Children’ is a webinar series\u00a0co-organised by\u00a0The Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing (University of Reading)\u00a0in partnership with Outside in World, the organisation dedicated to promoting and exploring world literature and children\u2019s books in translation.<\/p>\n

On Thursday 23rd October at 5pm UK time we\u00a0will be in conversation with\u00a0the leaders of the project Building a Global Youth Literature Collection 101<\/a>, sponsored by\u00a0The Global Literature in Libraries Initiative<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The impact of global events is unmistakably apparent in our daily lives, yet Americans, especially children and teenagers, know little of world events and cultures. Moreover, those best positioned to spark their learning \u2014 particularly librarians, who are charged with bringing the knowledge of the world even to their littlest patrons \u2014 are ill-equipped to help them. Shockingly, only a handful of accredited U.S. library schools even offer courses in international youth literature.<\/p>\n

The Building a Global Youth Literature Collection 101\u00a0website is intended to serve as a toolkit for librarians, but also for others who wish to learn more about youth literature \u2014 especially translations \u2014 from other countries. A global collection helps librarians serve communities with families from different countries and cultures, helps children develop greater international understanding, opens avenues for curiosity, and creates opportunities for learning from counterparts abroad.<\/p>\n

Used well, these books can open windows, unlock doors, and serve as mirrors. To this end we provide curated booklists created by librarians, subject matter experts, and community contributors in the Starter Kit<\/a> and aggregate relevant web-based materials in the resource-rich Hub<\/a>. Together, they are a one-stop shop for the global youth literature novice, and the project leaders hope\u00a0that even those already familiar with this literature will discover something new.<\/p>\n

Speakers:<\/p>\n

Dr.<\/strong> Annette Y. Goldsmith<\/strong> is the librarian at the Levy Library, Sephardic Temple Tifereth Israel in Los Angeles. She is the founding editor of the online children’s literature journal, The Looking Glass<\/strong><\/em>. An international youth literature specialist, she teaches online graduate classes in children\u2019s and young adult literature and librarianship, most recently for the Kent State University Information School.<\/p>\n

Dr. Marc Aronson<\/strong> is Associate Professor of Practice, Library and Information Science, at the Rutgers School of Communication and Information. He has worked in the field of literature for younger readers for more than thirty years as an author, editor, speaker, publisher, and critic. He is the only person to have been a winner or finalist for both of the American Library Association’s prizes for excellence in youth nonfiction as both an author and as an editor.
\n
\n<\/strong>David Jacobson<\/strong> is a journalist, author and Japanese translator. His award-winning picture book biography, Are You an Echo? The Lost Poetry of Misuzu Kaneko<\/strong><\/em>, introduced the life and work of a beloved Japanese children\u2019s poet to English-language readers. He is currently writing a biography of Jella Lepman, founder of the International Youth Library and the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
