Aims and objectives | History and Translation Network

To enhance the visibility of translation and interpreting history both in translation studies and in other disciplinary areas, especially history.
To promote interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration between all scholars with a historical interest in translation and interpreting, regardless of their disciplinary background.
To organise and promote regular events on translation and interpreting history: conferences, workshops, seminars, etc..
To generally explore forms of collaboration that can enhance our work as translation and interpreting historians: research projects, co-supervision of PhD’s, teaching exchanges, etc.
To provide an informal venue in which translation and interpreting historians, and international/transnational historians, can interact and collaborate, and in which anyone can take part and propose initiatives.
