> Description of talk:
> This talk ruminates on shame and the heritage language translator. Shame can derail and delay translation, but it can also serve to jumpstart and sustain the work of translation. How does shame live and manifest in a heritage language translator? How can it limit us as translators and writers? How can we transform it so that it can serve our work?
>  
> The talk, 'Shame and the Translator,' takes cues from a panel on shame and translation Davíd co-presented with the translators Bonnie Chau and Amanda L. Andrei at the 2023 ALTA Conference in Tucson, Arizona.

"We at UCR would like to respectfully acknowledge and recognize our responsibility to the original and current caretakers of this land, water, and air: the Cahuilla, Tongva, Luiseño, and Serrano peoples and all of their ancestors and descendants, past, present, and future. Today this meeting place is home to many Indigenous peoples from all over the world, including UCR faculty, students, and staff, and we are grateful to have the opportunity to live and work on these homelands."
