Starting Out in Translation Studies: Early Career Reflections
What does it mean to begin a career in translation studies today, amid a shifting academic landscape and increasing precarity in the humanities? In this roundtable, early career scholars reflect candidly on their journeys into the field – sharing insights into job applications, research proposals, interdisciplinary positioning, and the challenges and opportunities of working in translation at a time of institutional change. Each speaker will offer a short reflection before opening up to audience questions and wider discussion. This is an event for anyone considering a future in translation studies, or simply curious about what that future of the field might look like.
