Inspired by the vitality and uniqueness of Quebec literature, Carol Barko emigrated to Canada\/Quebec in 1992, hoping to translate Quebec novelists. Instead, she found the Women’s Studio at the National Film Board of Canada for which she translated documentaries, later working with cinematographers Jean-Claude Labrecque and Philippe Baylaucq. She had studied French literature at Stanford University, California. While writing her Ph.D. thesis (\u201cMallarm\u00e9 and Val\u00e9ry\u201d), she taught French literature at Oberlin College, Ohio. Oberlin sent her to St. Georges de Beauce in January 1970 to shepherd a group of students for a month of immersion in French. In 1979 she left the academy to work as a translator in diverse genres, while teaching courses on 20th century women writers of fiction at Columbia University and The New School.<\/p>\n
