Participate in the IBN TIBBON Doctoral and Teacher-Training Translation Studies Summer School (DOTTSS) 2022 in Granada!

The University of Granada will hold the tenth edition of the IBN TIBBON Doctoral and Teacher-Training Translation Studies Summer School (DOTTSS) 2022 from 27th June to 8th July. Arqus doctoral students in the early stage of their projects, and teachers of translation at the MA level or its equivalent are invited to participate in this school.

The Doctoral and Teacher-Training Translation Studies Summer School (DOTTSS) is a joint initiative of 5 different universities: University of Ljubljana (Slovenia), University of Turku (Finland), University of Tampere (Finland), University of Granada (Spain) and Boğaziçi University (Turkey). The name of the school in Granada pays homage to one of the greatest translators of the Western world, Ibn Tibbon, a native of Granada from arguably the most important Jewish family of translators, who undertook the translation into Hebrew of ethical and philosophical works written in Arabic by Jewish scholars from Spain.

The topic of this edition is “Research pathways in translation training and beyond: a collaborative and situated approach”. The sessions are designed to meet the needs of researchers and instructors who are interested in collaborative and situated models of learning and teaching and who wish to acquire a more solid foundation in innovative pedagogical and didactic theory and skills. The program will offer both intensive instruction and a forum for constructive dialogue as the curriculum includes reflection around the main pedagogical approaches and best-situated practices in translator and interpreter training.

Professor Dr. María González-Davies (University Ramon Llull) will be the guest lecturer. Dr. Dorothy Kelly, Vice-Rector for Internationalisation at the University of Granada and coordinator of the Arqus Alliance will be one of the members of the Steering Committee and the Local Organising Committee.

The application deadline to participate is 18th April. Decisions on the selected participants will be notified by 28th April. Students applying for the summer school are required:

• To send a tentative research proposal (or statement of purpose) (max. two pages).
• To send a recent curriculum vitae indicating experience and/or training in Translation Studies (max. two pages).
• To fill in the application form (available here) and send everything to ibn_tibbon@ugr.es.
