Congratulations to Michelle Kyoko Crowson

who has been awarded the 2019 Kyoko Selden Memorial Translation Prize

in Japanese Literature, Thought, and Society

for her translation of “The Maiden’s Betrayal” (Otome no mikkoku, 2010), by Akiko Akazome.

Michelle received a 2015 Translation Project Award from OCTS [then TSWG] to support initial work on the translation.

Michelle Kyoko Crowson is a PhD candidate in the Department of Comparative Literature at the University of Oregon. Her research interests include Japanese Literature by women writers, World Literature, and Translation Studies.
