I am a Senior Lecturer (associate professor) in the Centre for Translation and Intercultural Studies at the University of Manchester, and the author of Translation Multiples: From Global Culture to Postcommunist Democracy (Princeton University Press, 2025). My research lies in the intersection between literary translation, multilingual writing and politics. I am currently working on two co-edited volumes: The Bloomsbury Handbook to Modernism and Translation (with Rebecca Beasley) and The Tender Translator: Olga Tokarczuk Across Languages (with Joanna T. Huss). My work to date has appeared in, among others, PMLA, Contemporary Literature, Slavic and East European Journal, and I was named the 2022 Martha Cheung Award winner for the best English article in Translation Studies by an early career scholar. I am also the initiator of the Translating Burgess / Burgess Translating project, run in collaboration with the International Anthony Burgess Foundation, which was supported by the AHRC's CDA funding.
Prior to joining Manchester, I was an assistant professor in the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultural Studies at Trinity College Dublin (2019-2022), and a Junior Research Fellow at the University of Oxford (2016-2019). I hold a DPhil in Modern Languages from the University of Oxford and an MPhil in European Literature and Culture from the University of Cambridge.
