This was the school\u2019s third annual recognition of faculty publications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn holding this event, we are recognizing the magnitude of this scholarly accomplishment,\u201d Dean Rebecca Thomas said of having a book published. \u201cIt&#8217;s an ambitious and challenging endeavor that tests the author&#8217;s persistence as well as their intellectual power.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A former student of Dean-Thacker&#8217;s, Rachel Wilson &#8217;07, gave a brief talk at the book party on the recently retired Spanish professor\u2019s translation of &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/linguatextbooks.com\/collections\/juan-de-la-cuesta-hispanic-monographs\/products\/francos-mass-graves-breaking-the-silence-in-spain-by-emilio-silva-barrera\">Franco\u2019s Mass Graves: Breaking the Silence in Spain<\/a>&#8221; by journalist Emilio Silva Barrera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"454\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/thacker-730x454.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/thacker-730x454.png 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/thacker-350x218.png 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/thacker-768x478.png 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/thacker-810x504.png 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/thacker-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/thacker.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilson, Transylvania&#8217;s director of global and intercultural engagement, recalled learning as a student about the Spanish Civil War from Dean-Thacker, who made the topic &#8220;come alive.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The professor co-translated the work with her husband, Shelby, and their son Charlie created the cover art. In the book, the author recounts his search for the body of his grandfather, &#8220;a civilian who was murdered by fascist gunmen in the first months of the Spanish Civil War.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, foreign languages professor Priya Ananth discussed two new collections of Spanish poetry by Paden titled &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/circulodepoesia.com\/2024\/10\/imagenes-del-mundo-flotante-nuevo-libro-de-jeremy-paden\/\">Im\u00e1genes del mundo flotante<\/a>&#8221; and &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/santarabiapoetry.com\/novedades\/un-poema-rapido-en-vez-de-un-himno-2\/\">Un poema r\u00e1pido en vez de un himno<\/a>&#8221; \u2014 along with his translation of U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Lim\u00f3n&#8217;s &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/valparaisoediciones.es\/tienda\/poesia\/914-450-de-las-que-duelen.html\">De las que duelen<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"447\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/transylvania_book-party_wilson-730x447.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/transylvania_book-party_wilson-730x447.jpeg 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/transylvania_book-party_wilson-350x214.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/transylvania_book-party_wilson-768x470.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/transylvania_book-party_wilson-348x214.jpeg 348w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/transylvania_book-party_wilson-810x496.jpeg 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/transylvania_book-party_wilson-300x184.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/04\/transylvania_book-party_wilson.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lim\u00f3n visited Transylvania in 2022 for a public reading and to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/2022\/11\/transylvania-students-talk-poetry-with-u-s-poet-laureate-before-public-event-tonight\/\">talk with students about her writing process and translating poetry<\/a>. Ananth praised Paden, a Spanish professor, for his ability to capture the essence of Lim\u00f3n\u2019s poetry, including its emotions and style.

She tied this to the value of opening up to the ideas of others \u2014 something reflected in the co-written nature of the book, a collaboration with philosopher Julian Baggini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;In \u2018The Ethics Toolkit,\u2019 the authors provide a wide range of tools to help us in the work of ethics \u2014 the work of answering to others,&#8221; Cox
