Professional activities

In 2026, I was invited to be panellist on the topic of 'Ethics in Practice' for Oxford Translates.
In 2023 and 2024, I was invited to deliver guest workshops for the Bristol Translates Summer School on the topic of 'translating multilingualism', and in 2025, I delivered a session on the same topic at Oxford Translation Day.

I have been invited to act as a peer-reviewer for various academic publishers, including Liverpool University Press and Oxford German Studies.

I am a Consultant Editor for the newly launched Cambridge Journal of Literary Translation, and co-editor of the Journal of Romance Studies. More details can be found here:
