The International Research School for Media Translation and Digital Culture is aimed at an international audience and primarily addresses the needs of doctoral and early career researchers in translation, interpreting and intercultural studies, as well as more experienced academics who are new to the discipline or interested in engaging with recent developments in the field. It contributes to realizing one of the priorities of the SISU Baker Centre for Translation and Intercultural Studies, namely, advancing the study of translation in the context of digital (audiovisual) media and online spaces.

The programme consists of five modules:

  • Module 1. Theoretical Approaches to Media Translation Research
  • Module 2. Research Methods in Media Translation
  • Module 3. Research Design & Dynamics
  • Module 4. Featured Theme: Translation and Sustainability in Media & Digital Culture
  • Module 5. Academic Career Development

Each module encompasses three contact hours and six hours of guided reading. Group tutorials offer participants an opportunity to engage further with a wide range of topics and discuss their own research.

Participants will attend one 90-minute lecture per day, in addition to tutorials. Each participant will have the opportunity to select and attend three tutorials during the School.

On the final day, participants will present their work to fellow students and staff and receive oral feedback.

Participants will have access to an advanced e-learning environment provided by SISU, which allows for the full range of activities normally included in the face-to-face delivery mode to be provided virtually, including teamwork and tutorials.
