Hunter College
5th Annual Language Works Conference (Hybrid)
Title: Intersection Between Language, Technology and Literature
Date: Friday, May 2nd, 2025 | Time: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Venue: New York, NY, USA (space TBD) / Zoom
RSVP: Form coming soon
Introduction
Technology is advancing rapidly, reshaping language resources and access, and the translation and interpretation (TI) fields across industry sectors, from the legal to the educational. How is this evolution impacting literature and creative contents? Is technology hindering or advancing creativity, and will multilingual expressions become more (in)visible, (ir)relevant, and (in)accessible? These critical questions suggest a new frontier for the language professions, especially in the arena of literary and multimedia production.
At Hunter College’s 5th Annual Language Works Conference, we invite scholars and practitioners to share their insights and/or research findings touching on the theme from various points of inquiry, including, but not limited to:
-
To what extent are higher education programs (degree as well as professional training) (mis)aligned preparing students for the evolving intersection of technology and creative multilanguaging?
-
What concepts and approaches in translation/interpreting and what modalities of delivery are emergent, changing, or diminishing in the wake of neural machine translation and AI?
-
How has technology boosted/undermined or otherwise transformed the livelihood of language professions?
-
What are the ethical implications of translation and interpreting work delivery in new technological environments?
Call for Submissions
We welcome submissions as conception papers or ongoing/recent research or field experience reports with focus on the intersection of multilingualism, literature, translation, interpreting, and technology. We look forward to stimulating conversations in all and interdisciplinary dimensions – professional, educational, technological, and sociocultural.
To submit an abstract, please complete this abstract submission form: Provide your presentation title and a 200-250 word description of your proposed presentation.
Deadline: March 15, 2025. Notification of acceptance will be sent out by March 21, 2025.
We look forward to receiving your submissions!
Event Format
This event will take place in person in New York City (space TBD), as well as via Zoom. This event will be conducted in English. Individual presentations should be 20 minutes and panel presentations 40 minutes (maximum five panelists each, including the moderator).
