APTIS 2022
(University of Leeds)

The University of Leeds is proud to host the 4th Conference of the Association of Programmes in Translation and Interpreting Studies, UK and Ireland (APTIS) on 18-19 November 2022 (in person). 

APTIS encourages research into all aspects of translation and interpreting, and especially research that aims to inform the teaching and learning of these subjects at UK and Irish Higher Education Institutions. Previous conferences examined challenges and opportunities involved in the teaching and learning of translation and interpreting and looked to make connections between academic and non-academic settings for such efforts.

The upcoming conference will focus on new opportunities and challenges for translation and interpreting training in the post-pandemic era. In particular we will seek to understand and disseminate the valuable experiences of the pandemic on which we can draw and capitalise to provide more and better training opportunities to a wider array of students. 

To this end we invite scholars, practitioners, and other stakeholders to propose papers or workshops that engage largely but not exclusively with the conference theme on translation and interpreting (T&I) training. We welcome contributions from all areas of translation and interpreting studies, ranging from technical translation, to audiovisual translation, sign-language interpreting, machine learning, human-computer interaction and other less investigated topics of T&I.
