Call for Proposals
The School of International Letters and Cultures (SILC) is hosting the Media, Lingualism, and Translations Conference on November 13- 14, 2020. The theme for this conference is Technologies of Language and Power, and the keynote speakers are Jean-Noël Robert (Collège de France, Paris) and Lourdes Ortega (Georgetown University, Washington D.C.).
SILC welcomes papers that broadly explore how translations, media, and lingualisms can place different languages in relationships of power and status to one another. SILC hopes that the conference will also engage professional interpreters and translators, and welcomes submissions that focus on these practice areas as well.
For more information on the conference and how to submit a proposal, please visit Call for Proposals.
