CTIR Seminars
CTIR seminars are a forum for members, invited guests, and research students to present the results of their research in all areas related to translation and interpretation.
The seminars are currently held on the last Monday of every month at 12.30pm in room W5C 221.
The seminars will be structured as follows:
12.00-1.00: Guest speaker
1.00-2.00: Research seminar on a range of topics
Each month the presenter will be an external guest presenter, a member of the T&I staff, or a T&I PhD student. Each presentation will be followed by an interactive seminar to discuss a topic related to conducting T&I research, which will be led either by the key presenter, or another member of CTIR.
The seminars are open to CTIR members, T&I teaching staff, T&I PhD students and TRAN827 T&I Research Methods students; and any other interested parties.
All members of the Centre, as well as all staff in the Department of Linguistics are notified about seminars by email. Non-members are invited to follow this web-page for upcoming topics and brief abstracts
