The Literary Translators’ Association of Canada has had the great privilege, these past years, of strengthening its partnership with its sister associations in the United States and in Mexico, namely the American Literary Translators Association<\/a> and Asociaci\u00f3n Mexicana de Traductores Literarios<\/a>. Following a series of discussions over the last year or so, the presidents from the three associations, Bilal Hashi, Ellen Elias-Bursac\u0301, and Arturo Va\u0301zquez Barro\u0301n, along\u00a0with the help of the incomparable Sonya Malaborza<\/a>, had drafted a tripartite memorandum of understanding, which will they will present at the upcoming 44th Annual ALTA Conference, Inflection Points<\/a>, in a two-part roundtable discussion entitled “How Might US, Canadian, and Mexican Literary Translation Associations Collaborate?”. The first discussion will take place Saturday October 16 at 10:45am PT, and the second discussion will take place the following day in the same time slot.
