The workshop is intended as a brainstorming session for discussing the presentation of methodological issues in Translation Studies Theses.
Each participant prepares a short abstract (up to 500 words) in English on their chosen topic. In the workshop, there will first be a short introduction to / survey of different types of methods’ sections in PhD dissertations in Translation Studies. Operationalisation is one of the key concepts here.
The theses discussed are all online, and a list of them will be provided, in case any of the participants are interested in having a look beforehand. After this survey, doctoral candidates will be discussing their methods and optimal ways of structuring the methods section, in smaller groups. Ideas, challenges and questions will be noted down and presented to the whole group afterwards.
Everyone has a chance to participate in the discussion, and the workshop organiser will comment on the groups’ suggestions as well as individual abstracts submitted earlier.
