The Department of Literary and Translation Studies is home to a vibrant, dynamic, and dedicated team of local and global scholars. It is integral to the strong teaching, learning, and research culture at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University.
Our research values diversity, inclusiveness, and cross-disciplinarity, and covers a broad range of areas across literary and translation studies. We provide insights into areas of romanticism and gothic studies, comparative literature, postcolonial studies, cultural translation, audio-visual translation, translation education, translation technology, and interpreting studies.
The Department has a fast-growing BA Translation and Interpreting programme that aims to develop students into high-calibre, effective translators, interpreters, and cultural negotiators who will bring China to the world, and the world to China.
We are keen to supervise PhD projects that fall within our diverse research expertise and to expand our existing postgraduate community.
