Overview

Research theses at University of Liverpool can be supervised in any area of Translation Studies, but we particularly welcome projects that complement our interest in the multiple intersections between language, media, and identity.

Features

We have established clusters of PhD students working on volunteer and non-professional translation (e.g. fansubbing) and on sociological approaches to translation in a number of settings (e.g. journalism).

Other areas of particular interest include audio-visual translation, as well as gender, queer, and postcolonial translation theories and practice.
