Meeting Description:	The Advanced School of Modern Languages for Interpreters and Translators (SSLMIT) and the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies in Translation, Languages and Cultures (SITLeC) of the University of Bologna at Forlì present the First International Conference Logo - npit1 {2012} on Non-professional Interpreting and Translation. The aim of this conference is to provide a forum for discussion in a relatively recent and often neglected field of language and cultural mediation. Despite being a hugely spread and submerged practice, non-professional interpreting and translation has always been the poor relative of both interpreting and translation studies and, as such, neglected and under-researched by academia and condemned by professional categories. By bringing together researchers from various disciplines this conference aims to bring to the fore and provide a forum in which researchers and students will be able to share information, perspectives and experiences of non-professional interpreting and translation, and explore a plurality of theoretical, methodological, ethical and disciplinary approaches related to the study of this form of linguistic and cultural mediation.
