As I sat down to start on an article today, one idea struck me in that familiar somatic fashion (elevated heartbeat, compulsive walking, etc). This is exactly how a 'eureka' moment feels when I translate! Translation is research, research is translation. #CTImyday @doug11rob

Such a treat to receive a signed copy of Kobus Marais’s newest book in the post! The opening lines are already gripping: I couldn't agree more. The most stimulating research is usually positioned, both personally and locally.

Really pleased to have been awarded, with my @TranslateQUB colleague @PiotrBlum , a @BritishAcademy_ grant to explore the ways in which modern languages and translation studies make sense of and respond to #COVID ー19. Calls for participation to be released later in the summer.
