The College of Arts and Sciences hosted a Diversity Visit on campus for underrepresented minority admitted students on February 7, 2020. This day was designed to learn what it's like to be a member of the UK community. These students had the opportunity to meet with faculty, A&S advisors and current students. We ended the day with a special presentation from Professor Frank X Walker. All of our visitors recommended Diversity Visit and we can't wait to host the event again next year.

Translation is a complicated endeavor in any medium, but film subtitles provide their own particular set of challenges. In this talk, film scholar and translator Darcy Paquet will consider some of the practical, artistic, and cultural issues that arose while translating the subtitles for Bong Joon-ho’s award-winning Parasite, Park Chan-wook’s The Handmaiden and other Korean films. Through specific examples and descriptions of the subtitling process, this talk will aim to highlight some of the ways in which meaning and emotional nuance can shift when moving across languages.
There will be a reception before this event starting at 5:30 p.m.
