Subject: Call for Chapter Proposals for Engaged T&I Book

 
Conflicts and discriminatory policies result in refugee situations, and the
past in which nation states contained national languages has been replaced by
a linguistically complex, post-modern, transnational world. 

This volume will provide the critical scholarship needed to understand the
causes and effects of translation and interpretation needs in addition to
novel solutions being undertaken. T&I access varies among regions of the
world, and languages rights and certification standards are still young in
many places, and often only exist for more commonly-taught languages. The
profession is reacting to grass-roots efforts to mobilize volunteers and other
nonprofessionals to meet the growing need for T&I because “[p]ower is evident
at every junction of translation” (Baumgarten & Cornella-Detrell, 2019, p. 1).

Engaged scholarship is a way to involve participants in effecting change in
discriminatory policies, and forms the organizing thread for this volume.
To that end, this volume will particularly highlight contributions from
authors that partner with community organizations to provide T&I services. The
chapters also contribute to interdisciplinary understandings of how language
policies both perpetuate lack of access to information that directly affects
quality of life, as well as motivate creative ways to overcome these
linguistic obstacles.

Please submit a working title and abstract of 300-550 words along with name(s)
of author(s), affiliation(s), email address(es).
