Translating Values: Insights from Multilingual and Multiethnic Focus Groups in Northern Ireland (Knowledge Exchange Seminar Series at Northern Ireland Assembly  - 15 June 2016)

Description

This presentation reported on the collaborative research project “Translating values” (funded by Arts and Humanities Research Council) whose findings were consulted broadly with a range of multi-ethnic and multilingual communities across Northern Ireland (Belfast, Cookstown, Londonderry) through a series of focus groups held in 2015. It provided insights into the complex interactions between linguistic, cultural and religious communities by exploring shared and conflicting systems of values and evaluative concepts, with a view to improving translation and interpreting practice and informing cross-community relations as well as relevant elements of public policy.
