Further resources

Many of the materials and resources for this online course were developed thanks to the AHRC Translating Cultures Large Grant project Researching Multilingually at the Borders of Language, The Body, Law and The State.

The project is a collaboration between seven academic institutions (international and UK), third sector organisations and creative artists. The international team of researchers, with their different disciplinary backgrounds, research experiences, language and performance skills, are conducting international comparative research on translation and interpretation at different kinds of border in order to develop theory, ethical research practices and research methodologies in relation to multilingual research.

AHRC Grant Ref: AH/L006936/1

More information on the project can be found on the project website along with side videos, a blog, presentations and a network of researchers who are working multilingually.
