Translating Indigenous knowledges and ecologies
Environmental discourses and non-professional translation and interpreting
The long standing division between the human and social sciences and the natural and physical sciences is no longer tenable in a world where we cannot remain indifferent to the more than human. From this new awareness comes a need for the development of a post-anthropocentric identity which naturally affects all human activities including translation.
