LabTalk – sharpening the axe

LabTalk is a fortnightly forum dedicated to the discussion of research in the field of interpreting as well as in neighboring fields with a particular focus on methodological issues.

During each hour-long session, LabTalkers present a journal article of their choice, featuring interesting approaches, methodological innovations, or implementation challenges. Presentations last 15 minutes and pave the way for 45 minutes of critical discussion. LabTalkers wishing to submit their own work for critical discussion (e.g. draft manuscripts or presentations) may do so after prior consultation with the LabTalk coordinator. Although the articles under scrutiny are mostly written in English, papers may be presented and/or discussed in French or English. LabTalks are meant as an open and interactive forum; participation is reserved to doctoral students, post-docs and professorial staff.
