The Department of Afroasiatic Studies, Sign Language and Language Practice (DASL) at the University of the Free State and the Department of Afrikaans and Dutch at the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa are presenting the Second School for Translation Studies (SSTSA) in Africa from 29 November to 4 December 2010. This year's school is hosted by the University of Stellenbosch.

The Summer School is presented for doctoral students and/or lecturers in translation studies and intercultural communication from all over Africa with the aim of working towards an African agenda for translation studies.
