Allison Brown has been a freelance translator of scholarly books and essays from German into English since 1988. Her main fields of interest include history, art, and the social and political sciences, especially women’s and cultural studies. She has studied linguistics (Free University, Berlin) and German studies (B.A., Stanford University), and has an MA in translation science (Humboldt University, Berlin). She is certified by the state of Berlin to translate official documents into English. Allison also subtitles films, translates catalogues and other materials for exhibitions, and dreams of translating her first novel. A native New Yorker whose ten years in the Bay Area gave her a bi-coastal identity, Allison came to Berlin on a Fulbright grant in 1982 and has been living there (with some interruptions) and working on her "bi-continental" identity ever since.
