Winner of the 2023-24 APTIS award for 'Great Learning Gains': How are technological developments impacting access to the translation industry for a new generation of translators?
Congratulations, Emily Ruston!
“Your essay on technological developments in the translation industry and how these impact early-career translators is a valuable study that engages with a relevant and under-researched topic within Translation Studies. The Committee was impressed by the many key lessons drawn from the work undertaken, from understanding the importance of translation cooperatives despite their difficult access for early-career translators, to a realisation that bigger companies hold more power than freelancers and serve to shape the industry landscape. An excellent understanding was also demonstrated of the opportunities and drawbacks linked to technology use for early-career translators.”
Winner of the 2023-24 APTIS award for 'Great Pedagogical Project': Language learning, audiovisual translation and accessibility
Congratulations, Dr Lucía Pintado Gutiérrez & Dr Gloria Torralba Miralles!
“This is an important project with significant impact extending beyond the field of translation and interpreting studies. The focus on facilitating empathy and understanding of the needs of different communities, with the goal of developing students’ communicative awareness plus intra- and inter-lingual communication skills is commendable. The engagement with various institutions, including partner universities and the National Council for the Blind in Ireland and the interaction between students and the blind community epitomise the spirit of higher education: to nurture global citizens that can adapt, are empathetic, and are aware of the fundamental issues that (should) concern all people, particularly equality, diversity, and inclusion.”
