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!)

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?

For those of you who need to hear this, it's August. (Many of) Your UK academic friends are not okay. We are frantically finishing overdue publications/writing new lectures for new courses/marking Aug resit exams/travelling to/from conferences to give papers + supervising. SO...

Our new @BritishAcademy_ @TheNFER research out today shows a narrowing of subject combinations studied in England post-16 with a particular turning point from 2015/16 from when AS levels stopped counting towards A level results theguardian.com/education/ar…

A-level students choosing narrower range of subjects after Gove changes

Study shows fewer students in England combining humanities such as history or music with sciences or maths

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.
Alexandra Wilson@amwilson_opera10 Aug 2024
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
