We are delighted to announce the Translation Fest, a series of online seminars which will take place between 11th and 14th May 2021. The seminars, discussing a wide range of topical subjects to date, have been designed to reflect on the interlinks between the theory and practice of translation and to celebrate the richness and complexity of Translation Studies as an inter-discipline. Prominent speakers include academic scholars spread around the world (from the UK to Australia and back to Italy, Belgium, Spain and the US!), translators of international calibre operating in Italy and multicultural writers as self-translators. Translation Fest have been jointly organised by the University of Exeter, UK (Dr Eliana Maestri) and the University of Ferrara, Italy (Prof. Eleonora Federici and Dr Giulia Giorgi) and supported financially by Exeter Global Partnerships (2020-21 Outward Mobility Academic Fellowship), POT Uni-Sco (Piano di Orientamento e Tutorato) and the Humanities at Ferrara (Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici). Translation Fest is hosted by the Centre for Translating Cultures, the University of Exeter.  

All are welcome. Postgraduate students in Translation Studies are particularly invited to attend. 

The registration link is now live here.

Please register by 10th May 2021 to receive the link to the Meet sessions before the start of the webinars.
