The cutting edge of translation research is shifting. Technological and societal developments in recent years have seen dramatic changes in the ways translated texts are produced, used, and appraised. These changes have created ground-breaking new research themes, ranging from ethics and technology, to identity and crowd-sourcing. The Advances in Translation Research series will act as a platform for scholars at the forefront of these emerging research themes to demonstrate the expanding breadth of translation research today, to help illustrate its exciting implications for every domain of study, and to foster innovation and collaboration. The series will be free to attend, and will welcome everyone interested in knowing more about translation. No registration required.

The seminars will be at:

Institute of Modern Languages Research

University of London

School of Advanced Study

Senate House

Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU

The first seminar is scheduled for 04/11/2015, and will see Luis Perez-Gonzalez of the University of Manchester discuss radical uses of translation that affect social or political change.
