Video Research Spotlights



  • Are you a student or recent graduate that would like to spotlight your research using video?
  • Are you a scholar who has been involved in a project that advances interpretation or translation?
  • Are you seeking feedback on a research project in progress?
  • Can't come to the Symposium, but want to share your research?

If so, Video Research Spotlights is for you! Video Research Spotlights provides a new opportunity for students, practitioners, and scholars to make and share a short (3-minute maximum) video about a smaller-scale research study, a project in progress, or application of their research to a real-world interpretation or translation issue.

For more information, see Video Research Spotlights Guidelines.
