Thanks Anna Milsom & @The_Translat0r for reviewing my edited volume! "There is no question that Freeth and Treviño’s book succeeds in amplifying, extending and interrogating ‘one of translation studies’ most pervasive, polarising, and imprecise concepts’" doi.org/10.1080/13556509.202…

Pleased to have a chapter in this reflecting on my experiences teaching the Amanda Gorman's translators controversies as a white British lecturer (and yes, part of this is a discussion of the nomenclature and the importance of how we frame these controversies in the plural!)

The first #APTIS2024 Hot Topics roundtables are underway. @PJFreeth and @pierototoUK introduced their project on critical use of GenAI and assessment performance, and are now leading small group discussions on the topic.

Submitting an article is the perfect end to an academic's week, right? Big love to @pierototoUK for putting up with my collaborative nonsense, too!

Thank you to the @ChicagoManual for the encouragement! Translators are the people who choose every word you read when you’re reading a translation. Why not celebrate, or at least acknowledge, that?

1/ This is the most persistent myth of academia I have encountered in my career: there is no disinterested position from which to objectively study/teach history, culture, etc. You have to be white to believe this. The medieval university we inherited was political & still is.
I have long been uneasy about a growing compulsion for academics to bring political agendas into teaching and research. (I believe political views are private and that the lecturer has no right to use their platform for propaganda.) Turns out I wasn't just imagining this.

First year at London Met = done! To say I've learnt a lot would be an understatement, but I've also achieved a lot too and I'm very grateful to call this institution my academic home! Happy summer all x
