It was a real honour to speak alongside academics and fellow translators Sophie Stevens, Sarah Maitland and Katie Brown at this year’s annual Association of Hispanists of Great Britain and Ireland Conference at Cardiff University.  Our panel on ‘Translation and the Trials of Advocacy’ explored the role of the translator in the translation of artistic works and also our role in sharing these translations with the rest of the world.  In my talk I expanded on some of my ideas from ‘The Strangeness of the Theatre Translator‘ which I wrote for Words Without Borders last year.
