Perspectives, Approaches and Applications

18-25th September 2019,

Centre for Translation Studies, University of Vienna

 

We are proud to announce the third instalment of the international summer school on translation and interpreting history at the Centre for Translation Studies in Vienna! Just like in the first two years (2017 and 2018), we have invited renowned translation scholars to share their expertise on central issues of translation and interpreting historiography. This year’s event aims to provide young researchers with basic knowledge about various perspectives on and approaches to translation and interpreting history as well as with hands-on experience, such as analysing historical documents and researching in archives. Moreover, the participants are going to present their own projects and discuss them in light of the subjects addressed in the summer school.

We invite all PhD students and young researchers working on projects in Translation and Interpreting History to apply for this year’s summer schools.
