Interpreting PhD

The Centre for Translation and Interpreting provides a vibrant environment for both disciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarship. Recognised as a centre of excellence for research into the languages, literatures, histories, linguistics, visual cultures, and cultural identities of Europe and beyond, the Centre is founded on a dynamic and forward-looking research ethos. Interpreting is a field of research that is expanding dynamically. We welcome innovative research proposals that interrogate – through either practice- or research-led projects – interpreting in a variety of areas and modes, for example:<br/><br/>the role of the interpreter in the complex network of requirements, expectations, and perceptions;<br/>interpreter training;<br/>interpreting principles and practices;<br/>interpreting ethics;<br/>legal and social contexts for interpreting;<br/>cognitive studies of interpreting, especially with eye-tracking technology;<br/>community interpreting;<br/>court interpreting;<br/>sign language interpreting;<br/>interpreting as a profession;<br/>interpreting industry.
