活动简介

Translating cultures was a thematic programme, led by the speaker, funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) between 2012 and 2020. It consisted of 120 projects that engaged, from various disciplinary perspectives and across a range of sectors, with questions of translation and interpreting. The presentation explores the findings of the theme and the ways in which activity undertaken revealed the ubiquity of translation. Drawing on a range of case studies, the talk demonstrates the centrality of translation to academic research but also to a broad range of areas of urgent public interest and concern.
