Fourth Summer School for Translation Studies in Africa: 

29 August – 2 September 2016

University of Nairobi, Kenya

Are you involved in translation studies in Africa?

Do you want to develop your thinking and research skills?

Then you should not miss the fourth spring school for translation studies in
Africa!

The Departments of Linguistics and Language Practice at the University of the
Free State, Afrikaans and Dutch at the University of Stellenbosch and the
Centre for Translation and Interpretation at the University of Nairobi, in
cooperation with IATIS, are presenting the Fourth Summer School for
Translation Studies (SSTSA) in Africa from 29 August to 2 September 2016. The
hosts are the University of Nairobi in Nairobi, Kenya.

The Summer School is presented for doctoral/master’s students and/or lecturers
in translation/interpreting studies and intercultural communication from all
over Africa with the aim of working towards an African research agenda for
translation studies. The Summer School features lectures, tutorials, and
conference presentations under the guidance of prominent scholars in
Translation Studies and Intercultural Communication. 

For 2016, Dr Carmen Delgado Luchner from the University of Genève, will be the
keynote speaker, addressing the following topics:
- Potential synergies between sociology, development anthropology and
interpreting studies: How Pierre Bourdieu and Jean-Pierre Olivier de Sardan
can help us understand interpreting in development contexts 
- Modelling interpreter training as a development project: North-South
cooperation between universities and international organisations in the domain
of conference interpreting

This year’s event will also host the official launch of the Association for
Translation Studies in Africa (ATSA) and its first general meeting.

As in the past, the SSTSA will be followed by an IATIS Regional Workshop on 3
and 4 September.

as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only).

costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.
