11-12 December 2015, University of Graz This international research symposium aims to connect different strands of research dealing with translation in the sciences, social sciences and humanities. The focus will be on different methodological approaches chosen by individual researchers and implications of these approaches for understandings of translating science, the circulation of academic thought and social knowledge-making. The symposium sets out to promote a cross-disciplinary debate and addresses translation of academic thought from a translation studies, historical, sociological or cultural studies perspective.
