Welcome to NSTS 2016!

This year's session marks the Nida School's tenth year of advancing research in translation studies through a transdisciplinary approach that draws on a wide range of perspectives and methodologies, and challenges traditional disciplinary boundaries, while encouraging consideration of religious discourse. 

The theme of this year's session, Translation, Ecology and Entanglement, will connect the six lectures presented by our two Nida Professors, Michael Cronin and Gerald West, as they explore the role of translation in ongoing debates about linguistic and cultural sustainability in a world marked by the complexities and unruliness of postcolonial knowledges. The Nida Professors will be supported by an accomplished roster of Visiting Faculty, who will lead us further into an exploration of current developments in their relative areas of expertise. 

As the time for our gathering in May draws nearer, this site will become a hub of communication and activity. Please take some time to get to know the group by watching the video introductions found here (Getting to know the NSTS Community), and then record your own brief intro so we can meet you too! And be sure to check back often for the latest information, updates and topics of discussion, as well as to access advance reading materials which the faculty may make available.

We look forward to welcoming you in person when you arrive on the beautiful Italian Adriatic seacoast in May! In the meantime, click on the links below to read further important information about travel to and from Misano, as well as about various aspects of the Nida School itself.
