Although we have only recently joined forces, our group has already accomplished a great deal in a short time. By combining our diverse backgrounds and shared enthusiasm, we have quickly established a focused research agenda that explores digital communication, online discourse, and translation studies.

One of our early successes was a collaborative project where undergraduate students worked closely with group members at every stage of the research process. Their dedication resulted in a published paper, which is now featured among our highlighted achievements. This experience not only strengthened our research output but also provided students with valuable, hands-on training in academic publishing.

We continue to support student research in meaningful ways. Currently, undergraduate students are actively involved in a new project examining disagreement in online discourse. This hands-on involvement allows them to engage with timely topics and develop essential research skills. Graduate students working with us have also reached important milestones, with several papers now in press or under review at respected academic journals. These experiences help students grow as researchers and see their work recognized in the academic community.

Our resources and services have played a key role in empowering both students and researchers. We offer comprehensive training, feedback, and guidance, helping our community navigate the complexities of academic research and translation. Our partnership with the Center of Translation has further extended our support, allowing us to offer expert advice and mentorship in translation research and practice.
