Call for Papers
Following the success of the 12th IPCITI Conference held at Dublin City University, HeriotWatt University is pleased to host the 13th IPCITI Conference, which will take place 9-10 November 2017.
The IPCITI Conference is the result of a long-term collaboration between Dublin City University, Heriot-Watt University, the University of Edinburgh and the University of Manchester. IPCITI is designed to provide new researchers from all areas of Translation and Interpreting Studies with the opportunity to share their research with peers in a supportive and intellectually stimulating environment. It aims at promoting greater participation in Translation and Interpreting research by addressing salient issues in the field and hopes to foster a supportive environment in which researchers can exchange ideas on current themes and issues in the fields of Translation and Interpreting Studies.
Following up on last year’s theme, IPCITI 2017 will explore new directions in Translation and Interpreting Studies,but with a particular focus on translation and interpreting technologies and the ways these are shaping T&I practice, research and teaching.
