Summary
Our PhD Translation and Intercultural Studies programme enables you to carry out a piece of significant, original research under the supervision of our academics. The Centre for Translation and Intercultural Studies (CTIS) attracts visiting scholars and postgraduate students from a wide range of countries and backgrounds.
CTIS provides an excellent environment for research and organises regular scholarly events for the benefit of postgraduate students. These include a seminar series, which attracts a large national and international audience of researchers, students and practitioners.
The Centre also provides specialist research training for doctoral students in the form of masterclasses and dedicated career development workshops.
Our students have regularly benefitted from supervisory expertise and events across the humanities to support interdisciplinary dimensions of their work.
Recent major research projects include:
-
Genealogies of Knowledge: The Evolution and Contestation of Concepts across Time and Space (2016-2019), a large AHRC-funded project which explored how translation has impacted the transformation of key concepts in political and scientific thought as these concepts have travelled across centuries, languages and cultures.
-
Translating Asylum (2018-2020), an AHRC-funded project which explored the role of translation and interpreting provisions in supporting refugee arrivals in Britain between the 1940s and the 1980s.
