Curriculum Vitae

I am a Full Professor of English at the School of Arts and Humanities, University of Lisbon, where I have been teaching since 1990. 

My teaching spans English Studies and Linguistics — including English Descriptive Linguistics, Discourse Analysis, Text Analysis, and English in the World — as well as translator training in Scientific, Technical, and Audiovisual Translation, at undergraduate level. At postgraduate level, I have taught several seminars on Translation Studies and English Linguistics (from Audiovisual Translation and English-Portuguese Subtitling to Literary Translation, Applied Linguistics, Research Methodologies and Translation Theory) delivered across MA and PhD programmes at the University of Lisbon, in the Portuguese Interuniversity PhD in Translation Studies (Universities of Lisbon, Catholic University, and Nova),  and in international doctoral contexts.

I have supervised and co-supervised over 20 MA dissertations, 9 concluded PhD theses, and 2 postdoctoral researchers, on topics ranging from audiovisual translation, subtitling, and fansubbing, to literary translation, linguistic variation, indirect translation, censorship, and translation in Macao. I have also supervised visiting researchers from Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona) and the University of Roma Tre. Beyond my home institution, I have served on national and international examination panels for PhD and MA degrees at universities in China (Polytechnic University of Macao, University of Macao), Norway (University of Oslo), and Finland (University of Turku).

My research sits at the intersection of Translation Studies, Applied Linguistics, and Stylistics, with a particular focus on translation norms in literary and audiovisual translation, indirect translation, and retranslation. I am a senior researcher at CEAUL/ULICES and a member of the Advisory Board of the European Society for Translation Studies.

I founded and coordinated the etc... Talks on Translation Studies | etc... Estudos de Tradução à Conversa lecture series, a platform for ongoing dialogue on Translation and Interpreting Studies at the University of Lisbon that reached its 50th talk in 2022 and is set to resume shortly.
