Translation in Times of Crises and War

Translation in times of crises and war is a new field of research that has been gaining traction over the past decade, particularly in light of the crises of the global age—plagues, natural disasters, wars and conflicts, which have necessitated cross-lingual mediation and information accessibility. Research in this field focuses on the cognitive, socio-cultural, and psychological considerations that typify translation in times of crisis, including the identity and roles of translators and interpreters, professional and non-professional alike.
