About IPCITI 2010
The 6th International Postgraduate Conference in Translation and Interpreting (IPCITI) will be hosted by the University of Manchester from 29 to 31 October, 2010.
The IPCITI series, organised collaboratively between the University of Edinburgh, Dublin City University, Heriot-Watt University and the University of Manchester, is intended to give young researchers an opportunity to share their research in a supportive environment among peers and to participate in a significant international networking event for postgraduates in T&I studies.
Last year's conference was held at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. This year we aspire to address some of the questions posed in the previous conference, and will particularly focus on new perspectives within the discipline, the application of such research in new settings, and the impact of these new developments.
Keynote Speakers
The keynote speakers for this year's event are Dr Kate Sturge and Professor Raffaela Merlini. Dr Sturge, a Berlin-based lecturer at Aston University (Birmingham, UK) and freelance translator, will speak on the ethnographic museum as a site of translation, and Professor Raffaela Merlini of the University of Macerata (Italy) will draw upon her research experience to discuss how authentic data can be used effectively for research in interpreting studies.
Conference Workshop
The conference workshop will be presented by Professor Mona Baker of the University of Manchester and will focus on the use of the Translational English Corpus. This resource, which is available worldwide via the internet, has been used by scholars to address various aspects of translation activity. It has been used to generate research published in leading journals in the field as well as monographs. Professor Baker will demonstrate a range of effective uses of this valuable resource in translation and contrastive research.
Conference Dinner
The conference dinner and wine reception will be held in the Fossils Gallery of Manchester Museum on Saturday, 30 October, 2010. The dinner will provide a useful opportunity for networking and discussion in a relaxing atmosphere.
Publication of Papers
Presenters at IPCITI2010 will be offered the opportunity to submit their papers for inclusion in a special edition of the journal New Voices in Translation Studies. Details will be provided at a later date.
Travel Bursary
The Institute of Transnational Studies at the University of Manchester will be providing a bursary to assist one (or more) presenters at IPCITI2010 who will be traveling from overseas to attend the conference.
Applications for the bursary will be invited from postgraduates who have had their abstract accepted and who are located outside of the UK.
The deadline for application is Wednesday, 18 August, 2010.
