Abstract

This volume brings together texts from two activities: position papers from the seminar The Future of Research on Translation and Interpreting held in Tarragona in December 2008, and selected presentations from the graduate conference New Research in Translation and Interpreting Studies held in Tarragona in October 2007. The two parts speak to each other as two sides of the process of training researchers. The voices in the first part belong to professors teaching or supervising research in our international doctoral program in Translation and Intercultural Studies. Those in the second part are doctoral students or young graduates, presenting research projects that are underway or have recently been completed.
