The Doctoral Program in Translation and Paratranslation investigates how, throughout history, translation and interpretation have been key practices in the construction of cultures and their capacity for change. Cultures are the result of a constant negotiation of translated texts, both linguistic and iconic or symbolic. The people who translate are agents of cultural mediation with the capacity for social and political transformation. We currently live in mixed realities, read translated languages, see adapted images, and consume localized products that have been commissioned for translation and interpretation. The T&P Doctorate is the only doctoral program in translation and interpretation in the whole of the Galicia-Portugal Euroregion. This is a postgraduate research representative of the European Higher Education Area that responds to the demand for training by Translation and Interpreting students, covering the need to offer additional training to improve their own career prospects. In this sense, we offer a balanced set of theoretical and practical contents with a view to both research and the preparation of translation and interpretation professionals.
