We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the 8th Asian Translation Traditions Conference. SOAS, University of London will host this event on 5-7 July 2017. The conference theme is:

Conflicting Ideologies and Cultural Mediation

– Hearing, Interpreting, Translating Global Voices

SOAS, University of London, is organizing a one-day symposium on Public
Service/Community Interpreting on the 3rd of October 2015 (the symposium is free of charge but requires registration).

This symposium aims to inform about the current
situation and the challenges faced by community and public service
interpreting, to take stock and to develop visions for the future.

A discussion among community/public service
interpreters and leading scholars from Translation, Communication, and
Socio-linguistic Studies will identify further research needs in this area,
addressing not only linguistic but also cultural aspects and asking how this
research can be of use to the everyday practice.

Everybody is welcome!
