Kickoff Event
The American Ladino League presents Dr. Gloria Ascher (Professor Emerita, Tufts University) in conversation with Dr. Bryan Kirschen (Associate Professor and Chair of Romance Languages, Binghamton University)
Join the newly launched American Ladino League (ALL) on Monday, April 8 for its first public program. We have planned a wonderful series that will engage with authors and creators who are choosing to work with Ladino in the American cultural sphere. Gloria Ascher recently published The Diario (Albion Andalus, 2023), a bilingual Ladino-English version of her uncle’s journal.
The conversation will be held in English and will touch on topics such as the choice to translate this text, Dr. Ascher’s approach to bilingual editions, and the challenges/rewards of creating literature in — or in dialogue with — Ladino in 21st century America.
This Zoom webinar will last one hour and will include time for Q&A with the author. Free to attend, but registration required https://tinyurl.com/AmericanLadinoLeague
