Who can apply
This summer school is aimed at MA and PhD students, postdoctoral and early-career researchers, as well as senior researchers in the fields of English linguistics, educational and applied linguistics, critical discourse analysis, translation and interpreting, accessible audiovisual translation, linguistic anthropology and psycholinguistics, modern languages, and media and communication studies.
