Meeting Description: 

SOAS, University of London, is organizing a one-day symposium on Public Service/Community Interpreting on the 3 of October 2015 (free registration).

This symposium aims to inform about the current situation and the challenges faced by community and public service interpreting, to take stock and to develop visions for the future.
A discussion among community/public service interpreters and leading scholars from Translation, Communication, and Socio-linguistic Studies will identify further research needs in this area, addressing not only linguistic but also cultural aspects and asking how this research can be of use to the everyday practice.

Everybody is welcome!
The symposium is free of charge, including lunch, but requires registration.
