Centre for Translation and Interpreting Research
The Department's Divisional Centre for Translation & Interpreting Research (CTIR) provides a resource and research space for work in all aspects of translation and interpreting. Building on the extensive postgraduate teaching and higher degree research program in translation and interpretation the Centre offers opportunities for individual and team research, both on campus and in collaboration with organizations and institutions within Australia and overseas.
The Centre supports basic, applied and policy-related research as well as providing a base for a range of commissioned projects. Its interdisciplinary focus allows for considerable interaction and cross-fertilisation among researchers and their research studies. Its commitment to research relevance and to practical action ensures that much of its research is oriented, directly and indirectly, towards improving the professional quality of translation and interpreting, and the status of its practitioners.
