This talk introduces a concept of translation developed by the Indo-Persian poet-philosopher Bidel of Delhi. In his autobiography and narrative poems, Bidel advocates for a form of practical comparison he calls crossings.
As Bidel unfolds this concept鈥檚 multilayered connotations,听crossings听emerges as an open-minded, humane, and creative endeavor to understand another tradition through translation and imaginative comparison. This practice of听crossings听is something that anyone, regardless of their religious affiliation, education, and social status, can and should attempt to undertake.
This is a UW Translation Studies Hub event.

An author meets critic event featuring The Refugee System: A Sociological Approach, a new book by Rawan Arar and David FitzGerald.
Some people facing violence and persecution flee. Others stay. How do households in danger decide who should go, where to relocate, and whether to keep moving? What are the conditions in countries of origin, transit, and reception that shape people’s options? This incisive book tells the story of how one Syrian family, spread across several countries, tried to survive the civil war and live in dignity. This story forms a backdrop to explore and explain the refugee system.
Presenting a sharp analysis of refugee structures worldwide, this book offers invaluable insights for students and scholars of international migration and refugee studies across the social sciences, as well as policy makers and those involved in refugee and asylum work.
