AHRC Open World Research Initiative (OWRI)

BCLT and UEA are satellite partners in the AHRC Open World Research Initiative (OWRI) research project "Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community" led by the University of Manchester.

The subproject led by Cecilia Rossi comes under the "Translingual Strand" of the project led by Professor Catherine Davies, director of the Institute of Modern Languages Research and will focus on the translation of literature exploring how communities affected by past conflicts incorporate their experience into cultural memory, and how that memory can be sustained and circulated across language borders. The first round of funding for the project will allow BCLT to run two literary translation workshops at the BCLT Summer School in July 2017.
