The Arts and Humanities Research Council is now inviting outline
proposals for its large grants under its translating cultures theme.
This theme addresses the need for understanding and communication
between and across diverse cultures by looking at the role of
translation in the transmission, interpretation and sharing of
languages, values, beliefs, histories and narratives. The theme
addresses issues of substantial policy relevance in areas such as
diplomacy, conflict and security, law and migration; engages with key
concepts such as multiculturalism, tolerance and identities; explores
interactions such as youth language and online language and identity;
and promotes opportunities for researchers in all these fields to work
across language areas and across disciplines. Whilst it is not permitted
to name an international partner as a co-investigator, it is permitted
to include them as a collaborator or a consultant, fully justifying
their role in the project and the experience they will bring to the
team. Awards should last for a minimum of 36 months and a maximum of 60
months and will be expected to start between 1 October 2013 and 1 April
2014. Funding of between £1 million and £2m is available on a full
economic cost basis with the AHRC meeting 80 per cent of the full
economic costs.
- Closing date 17 Jan 13
- Deadline information Outline proposals due by 4pm, 17 January 2013.
