I got to meet Nicky Harman!!! If you'd told me two years ago that I would have spoken about my research in front of one of my translation heroes, I would have SCOFFED. And yet, strange things happen in this world. Many thanks to the Seamus Heaney Centre at Queen's for hosting Translation Day!

caring about ethics
Thirty-two years ago Carol Gilligan wrote a “Letter to Readers” which prefaced the new edition of her book In a Different Voice.
