About This Journal
Living in Languages Journal is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal devoted to translation studies. Founded at the State University of New York at Albany (SUNY), it now operates as an inter-university collaboration among scholars at SUNY Albany, the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and Westfield State University. The journal approaches translation broadly—across languages, disciplines, and media—supporting linguistic diversity, cultural heterogeneity, and international collaboration.
An interdisciplinary publication by design, Living in Languages brings together editors and contributors from fields and departments across the humanities and social sciences. The journal publishes two forms of work each year: a general issue open to diverse approaches to translation, and a rotating special issue dedicated to a specific theme, question, or practice within translation studies and its allied disciplines. Together, these issues reflect a commitment to both breadth and focus—foregrounding translation as a mode of inquiry that moves between theory, creative practice, and social engagement.
All submissions undergo double-blind peer review and are published under the Creative Commons Attribution–NonCommercial 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC 4.0). Articles are permanently preserved through the State University of New York at Albany’s Digital Commons repository.

Indexed in "
Living in Languages Journal is currently pursuing indexing in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and the MLA International Bibliography. Broader citation indexes such as Scopus typically involve longer evaluation processes, but inclusion in those databases remains a long-term goal. The journal will seek retroactive indexing for all previously published issues once accepted.
