Translation Doctor of Philosophy - PhD

Translation is part of the Modern Languages research cluster, which 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 cluster is founded on a dynamic and forward-looking research ethos. Translation is a field of research that is expanding dynamically. We welcome innovative research proposals that interrogate – through either practice- or research-led projects, translation in a variety of areas and modes. For example, :


• Audiovisual translation, multimodality and accessibility;



• Crisis translation



• Translation and cultural encounter



• Translation and development



• Translation and language policy



• Translation and linguistics



• Translation and literature



• Translation and minority languages

• Translation in digital contexts



• Translation in media and geo-politics



• Translation in museums and exhibition spaces
