DOTTSS BOSPHORUS

PHD SUMMER SCHOOL

Doctoral and Teacher-Training Translation Studies Summer School (DOTTSS) is a joint initiative of 5 different universities: University of Ljubljana (Slovenia), University of Turku (Finland), University of Tampere (Finland), University of Granada (Spain) and Boğaziçi University (Türkiye). Since 2012 the summer school has hosted doctoral students of TS and teachers of translators and interpreters from all around the world. The first two schools were held in Piran, Slovenia (Emuni 2012, Stridon 2013), the third was in Granada, Spain (Ibn Tibbon 2014), the fourth in Turku, Finland (Agricola 2015), the fifth in Piran, Slovenia (Stridon 2016), the sixth in Granada, Spain (Ibn Tibbon 2017), the seventh in Tampere, Finland (DOTTSS 2018), the eighth in Ljubljana, Slovenia (Stridon 2019), the ninth in Istanbul, Türkiye (Bosphorus 2021), the tenth in Granada, Spain (DOTTSS 2022), the eleventh in Tampere, Finland (DOTTSS 2023), and the twelfth in Piran, Slovenia (DOTTSS 2024). The thirteenth event will be held at Bogazici University in Istanbul, Türkiye (DOTTSS 2025). The local organizers add to DOTTSS a name that connects the summer school to a particular translational tradition in the region: the name of the school in Turkey foregrounds the position of Istanbul as a “translational city”, connecting as well as separating continents, cultures and traditions.
