Centre for Translating Cultures

Centre for Translating Cultures

Housed in the department of Languages, Cultures and Visual Studies (LCVS), the Centre for Translating Cultures organizes research seminars for scholars and students of Modern Languages and Cultures and runs events (talks, conferences, workshops, lectures and symposia) supporting their academic work. In the framework of our university’s overall strategy, the Centre aims at using the power of education and research to create a sustainable, healthy and socially just future. Our research seminars and events are mainly linked to the global languages and cultures studied in LCVS (French, German, Italian, Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish) but we are interested in any language and culture and welcome contributions from, or about, them. All our activities are open to anyone across the university and the wider community. In 2024-2025 we will make a special effort to organize events that bring people together, from poetry readings to story-telling sessions in languages other than English.

Research seminars

Seminars will generally take place on Wednesdays between 15:30 and 17:00.
