I am a lecturer in translation studies at Aston University (UK) and a research associate at the University of the Free State (South Africa). My research deals with translation, technologies and users. It analyses how translation technologies empower professional and non-professional translators and how the democratisation of technology allows translation users to become non-professional translators. I am ultimately interested in how non-professionalism impacts social translation, professional translation and translator training.
