Submissions

It is our pleasure to launch the call for papers for the Third International Conference on Community Translation (ICCT 3), to be held in July 2023 at the Institute of Applied Linguistics, University of Warsaw, Poland. The conference is an initiative of the International Community Translation Research Group, and was preceded by the successful First International Conference on Community Translation, held at Western Sydney University in September 2014, and Second International Conference on Community Translation that took place at RMIT in Melbourne.

The third edition of the conference aims at discussing issues related to the most recent events and changes in the condition, status and application of community translation in different fields, including legal settings, healthcare and migration. We plan to identify those areas of research and practice that need further development, especially in the light of recent humanitarian crises.

Indeed, these events highlighted the role and importance of good quality community translation, as well as the growing need to set standards and provide for quality assurance measures for community translation worldwide. We hope to reflect on such topics as well during ICCT 3.

This edition of the conference is also aimed at bridging the gap between community translation and other disciplines, as well as promoting community translation in those locations where its status is under-recognised.

In addition, we would like to invite teams of up to 3 members to submit proposals for 2-hour-long workshops touching on the following overarching themes:

• Toward promoting best practices in community translation

• Developing training curricula

Workshop proposals should be 500 words and include aims, a short plan of the workshop, method(s) of work and possible outcomes.
