Notes: [The College "system" does not even have a caregory for translation, which gives all too depressing a view of how the institution views those who teach and practice this discipline.]

Notes: [A European post-graduate seminar was held in Belfast in 1998, and these "proceedings" are the recond of it. The first named editors were post-graduate students, and I had overall responsibility for the enterprise. Several of the post-graduates at the seminar now have full-time academic posts.]
