APTIS 2022 will be in person! Finally, an excellent

in a central and convenient location after so many months
under restrictions.

organisers.
The University of Leeds is proud to host the 4th Conference of the
Association of Programmes in Translation and Interpreting
Studies, UK and Ireland (APTIS) on 18-19 November 2022 (in
person).
APTIS encourages research into all aspects of translation and
interpreting, and especially research that aims to inform the
teaching and learning of these subjects at UK and Irish Higher
Education Institutions. Previous conferences examined
challenges and opportunities involved in the teaching and learning
of translation and interpreting and looked to make connections
between academic and non-academic settings for such efforts.
The upcoming conference will focus on new opportunities and
challenges for translation and interpreting training in the postpandemic era. In particular we will seek to understand and
disseminate the valuable experiences of the pandemic on which
we can draw and capitalise to provide more and better training
opportunities to a wider array of students.
To this end we invite scholars, practitioners, and other
stakeholders to propose papers or workshops that engage largely
but not exclusively with the conference theme on translation and
interpreting (T&I) training. We welcome contributions from all
areas of translation and interpreting studies, ranging from
technical translation, to audiovisual translation, sign-language
interpreting, machine learning, human-computer interaction and
other less investigated topics of T&I.
Deadline for submissions: Extended to July 14
