Independent Study: Research Topics in Translation, Localization, and Interpreting

This course is an independent study project under the direction of a faculty member and may only be taken once. The student may (1) identify a specific industry (client) sector and produce a translation and/or localization project based on a substantive relevant source text/web or media content, along with a justification paper reflecting on the work process and approaches implemented and the real-world relevance of the project, or (2) the student may develop a theoretical research topic formulated around evolving debates on translation processes and modalities, and/or the current socio-cultural issues involved in the business of translation and/or localization around the world. This course requires pre-approval of the program before enrollment.
