Doha: The Translation and Interpreting Institute (TII), part of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHSS) at Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU), will hold its 11th International Translation Conference on March 24. Registration is open to all researchers, practitioners, and students with an interest in the field. TII has designed this year’s conference format as a series of online academic panels, keynote speeches and a specialized webinar on interpreting.
The conference is being held under the theme “COVID 19 and Current Changes in Translation and Interpreting Studies”, and is set to explore how the pandemic is reshaping translation and interpreting, academically, professionally, and socio-economically. Among the topics that will be closely considered is translation theory, the translator training after the COVID-19 outbreak, interpreters’ narratives of the COVID-19 pandemic, COVID-19 meets Twitter, conference interpreters’ experiences, ‘Localizing’ COVID-19, and Work-family interface and job outcomes among translators and interpreters.
The 11th TII conference will welcome 17 speakers from more than 10 countries, including but not limited to the United Kingdom, United States, Qatar, Spain, Poland, Hungary, Algeria, and Slovakia.
Ahead of the international forum, Dr. Amal Al-Malki, Founding Dean, CHSS, said: “The Annual International Translation Conference was first launched in 2010 to create a Gulf-based platform to discuss issues related to translation at both the theoretical and practical levels. For the 11th version of the conference, it is imperative to focus on the impact of the global pandemic on the studies and practice of translation and interpreting. The conference will focus scholarly interventions and showcase applied research outputs that conceptualize the changes brought about or accelerated by the pandemic, as they relate to intercultural communication. TII invites everyone to participate in its 11th International Translation Conference, and we look forward to welcoming an exceptionally diverse audience, given the virtual format of the conference.”
