Joshua M. Price

Joshua M. Price is Associate Professor in the Program in Philosophy, Interpretation, and Culture. He is also Associate Professor of Linguistics and Affiliated Professor of Latin American and Caribbean Areas Studies.

At present, I am following two lines of inquiry.  I study translation and colonization, especially in the Americas. I serve as an asesor internacional (international advisor) for the research project, "La construcción del saber del traductor” at the Universidad de Antioquia (Medellín, Colombia) and assessor internacional of the Núcleo de Pesquisas em Traduo e Estudos Interculturais  at the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, (Espírito Santo, Brazil).

I am also engaged in advocacy with and for currently and formerly incarcerated people in Broome County and across New York State. This takes the form of collective research, community-university collaboration, and solidarity work. Currently and formerly incarcerated people, students, family members, and other community members come together to address the concerns of those most affected by prisons and jails. The Southern Tier Social Justice Project, which I co-founded, is a collective of formerly incarcerated people and their allies who provide support for people upon their release. I also direct a project for the NAACP to monitor health care of people held at the Broome County Jail. Over the past several years, my students and I have interviewed over 150 people held at the Broome County Jail in response to their requests.
