Biography
Maeve Olohan is Co-Director of the Centre for Translation and Intercultural Studies, University of Manchester, UK. She is the author of Introducing Corpora in Translation Studies (2004) and Scientific and Technical Translation (2016), and co-editor of a special issue of The Translator (2011) on the translation of science.
It takes ingenuity as well as courage to return to a familiar question with new urgency, as Olohan does when asking which practices translators and translation scholars designate as 'translation.' By thinking deeply through the significance of the practice turn, Olohan provides a fascinating, new perspective on problems at the very heart of Translation Studies.
