Technology is advancing rapidly, reshaping language resources and
access, and the translation and interpretation (TI) fields across
industry sectors, from the legal to the educational. How is this
evolution impacting literature and creative contents? Is technology
hindering or advancing creativity, and will multilingual expressions
become more (in)visible, (ir)relevant, and (in)accessible? These
critical questions suggest a new frontier for the language
professions, especially in the arena of literary and multimedia
production.
At Hunter College’s 5th Annual Language Works Conference, we invite
scholars and practitioners to share their insights and/or research
findings touching on the theme from various points of inquiry,
including, but not limited to:
 - To what extent are higher education programs (degree as well as
professional training) (mis)aligned preparing students for the
evolving intersection of technology and creative multilanguaging?
 - What concepts and approaches in translation/interpreting and what
modalities of delivery are emergent, changing, or diminishing in the
wake of neural machine translation and AI?
 - How has technology boosted/undermined or otherwise transformed the
livelihood of language professions?
 - What are the ethical implications of translation and interpreting
work delivery in new technological environments?
