Keynote: Acts of Translation in Scholarly Writing

Dr. Claudia Ruitenberg is Professor in the Department of Educational Studies, with a focus on philosophy and theory of education. One of her areas of research is speech act theory, with which she has examined the effects of language use in various educational contexts. A second area of research is translation, understood not only between languages but also between language registers and discourses. In her talk, titled “Acts of Translation in Scholarly Writing,” Dr. Ruitenberg will identify the various ways in which thesis writing, and scholarly speaking and writing, more generally, involves multiple acts of translation and code-switching. She will pay special attention to the translational moves required for practice-oriented research.
