This volume examines strategies for embedding gender awareness within translation studies and translator training programmes. Drawing on a rich collection of theoretically-informed case studies, its authors provide practical advice and examples on implementing gender-inclusive approaches and language strategies in the classroom. It focuses on topics including, how to develop gender-inclusive practices to challenge students' attitudes and behaviours; whether there are institutional constraints that prevent trainers from implementing non-heteronormative practices in their teaching; and how gender awareness can become an everyday mode of expression. Positioned at the lively interface of gender and translation studies, this work will be of interest to practitioners and scholars from across the fields of linguistics, education, sociology and cultural studies.

Presents case studies from translation classrooms and explores the development of queer and gender-orientated critical consciousness among translation students Identifies gender training for translators as a key tool in the 'gender mainstreaming' effort to promote equality between the sexes in all spheres of professional and personal life Encourages lecturers, researchers and practitioners to address the need for gender training in translation and to share their experiences and practices in this emerging field
