Call for Papers - LOST (AND FOUND) IN TRANSLATION
The Graduate Journal of Social Science (GJSS - www.gjss.org) invites original submissions for its forthcoming special issue entitled "Lost (and Found) in Translation".

Perhaps, as translators, we may be able to offer special insight into ways in which language differences influence research and, more generally, academic work. ▲ Collapse
