Interdisciplinary study
In today's world, trade and culture are becoming increasingly globalised. Understanding this and how translating and interpreting work as a whole, is an ongoing challenge for researchers and professional translators and interpreters.
This means that our research is interdisciplinary, reaching into areas such as:
- education
- sociology
- politics
- literature and creative writing
- law
- psychology
As well as expanding academic knowledge in translation and interpreting studies, our findings feed directly into our translator and interpreter training programmes.
