    University of Birmingham at the Hay Festival

    At the 2024 Hay Festival Dr Katharina Karcher, Senior Lecturer in Modern Languages, and PhD researcher, Yordanka Dimcheva, discussed how six people impacted by three different terror attacks have responded to what happened to them through creative outputs, exemplified by three objects. The stories powerfully illustrate how creative practice can be used to remember violent loss, (re)claim agency, and help us work towards a less violent future.

    "The highlight of my course so far has definitely been the module about translation technology. In our classes and the final assignment we have the opportunity to work with several technologies that are used in the world of professional translation, which really helps us to prepare for entering the job market. We have learned a lot about recent industry trends, which helps us to decide which specialisms we would like to investigate further in order to have access to the greatest number of employment options possible."
