Interpreting (Research)

The Centre for Translation and Interpreting provides a vibrant environment for both disciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarship. Recognised as a centre of excellence for research into the languages, literatures, histories, linguistics, visual cultures, and cultural identities of Europe and beyond, the Centre is founded on a dynamic and forward-looking research ethos. Interpreting is a field of research that is expanding dynamically. We welcome innovative research proposals that interrogate – through either practice- or research-led projects – interpreting in a variety of areas and modes, for example:

the role of the interpreter in the complex network of requirements, expectations, and perceptions;
interpreter training;
interpreting principles and practices;
interpreting ethics;
legal and social contexts for interpreting;
cognitive studies of interpreting, especially with eye-tracking technology;
community interpreting;
court interpreting;
sign language interpreting;
interpreting as a profession;
interpreting industry.
