The Department of Afroasiatic Studies, Sign Language and Language Practice (DASL) at the University of the Free State in South Africa is presenting the first Spring School for Translation Studies in Africa from 28 September to 3 October 2009.

The Spring School is presented for masters and doctoral students in translation studies from all over Africa with the aim of working towards an African agenda for translation studies.

The aim is to present the Spring School on an annual basis at various locations on the African continent.

The Spring School for Translation Studies in Africa (SSTSA) aims at providing a voice to translation scholars in Africa. Making this voice heard implies decolonising their own minds. The SSTSA wants to be instrumental in this respect by exposing post-graduate students in translation studies to the most recent trends in translation theory and practice and by creating networks amongst scholars and future scholars for discussing uniquely African notions of translation.
