Following the success of the 5th International Postgraduate Conference in Translation and Interpreting Studies (IPCITI) held at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, we are pleased to announce that the 6th conference in this series will be hosted by Centre for Translation and Intercultural Studies at the University of Manchester from 29-31 October 2010. The conference title is “From Reflection to Refraction: new perspectives, new settings and new impacts”. The IPCITI series is organised collaboratively between the University of Edinburgh, Dublin City University, Heriot-Watt University and the University of Manchester.
Workshop (29th October):
Prof. Mona Baker of the University of Manchester will be giving a half-day workshop on the effective use of the Translational English Corpus in translation and contrastive research. This valuable resource, which is available worldwide via the internet, has been used by scholars to address various aspects of translation activity and generate research published in leading journals in the field as well as monographs.
Keynote speakers (30-31 October):
Prof. Raffaela Merlini of the University of Macerata (Italy) will draw upon her research experience to discuss how authentic data can be used effectively for research in interpreting studies.
Dr. Kate Sturge, a Berlin-based lecturer at Aston University (Birmingham, UK) and freelance translator, will speak on the ethnographic museum as a site of translation.
