"To understand how these layers of language each represent a moment of history.."

In this episode, Johanne Sloan sits down with Sherry Simon to discuss her work.

Sherry Simon is a Professor in the Department of French Studies at Concordia University. She has also held the position of Canada Research Chair in Translation and Cultural History (York University, 2005) and served as Director of Concordia’s interdisciplinary PhD in Humanities Program. An internationally renowned scholar, Professor Simon has published extensively on subjects related to Translation Studies, literary translation, and gender in translation, among others.

Johanne Sloan has a BFA from Concordia University, an MA from the Université de Montréal, and a PhD in the History and Theory of Art from the University of Kent, England (1998). Dr. Sloan is interested in broader categories of visual culture and the urban environment, and these issues converged in the multi-authored book of essays about the world's fair held in Montreal during the summer of 1967.
