Research summary
My research interests lie in the theoretical and empirical studies of translation and interpreting, and in the broad discipline of General Linguistics and Applied Linguistics with which I believe translation and interpreting have a lot to do. My research currently focuses on the cognitive aspects of and cultural issues in translation and interpreting. I am now co-editing a book on the affect, behaviour and cognition of translation and interpreting, as well as contributing a chapter on my own.
Teaching summary
I teach scientific and technical translation between English and Chinese. I also share-teach consecutive and liaison Interpreting between English and Chinese. Both modules are housed at the CenTraS (the Centre for Translation Studies).
