Description: Translation as an intellectual and social venture is at least two millennia old, although it was recognised as an academic discipline only in the 1970s. With both retrospective and prospective views, contact, fluidity, local and global scales of influence can be said to shape the many contexts and voices of translation.

Topic of the Current Edition: Challenges of on-line pedagogy and research in linguistic and intercultural education

Description: CLIE-2021 aims at investigating the far-reaching implications of moving instruction and research in the online medium. In particular, public discourses that tend to politicise online learning, possibly attaching to it a stigma of being lower quality than face-to-face learning might prove disturbing and demotivating for the main actors in education and research. Indeed, technical or administrative hurdles have impeded a swift transition to fully remote teaching, learning and research (ensuring the shift to synchronous video – Zoom, MS Teams, Google Meet), the implementation of adequate measures for equitable access (reliable computers and broadband, support for students with disabilities, academic integrity assurance), foresight in terms of post-pandemic eLearning infrastructure. This year’s forum will address hands-on experiences and bring forth possible solutions.
