Our newest member, Chiara Astrid Gebbia, delivered a keynote talk at the Young Researchers Night on the International Day of Translation (30 September). The event in Kristiansand was one of several taking place throughout Norway to promote the development of researchers during their early-stage careers. During her talk, Chiara explained how metaphors pervade our everyday communication, decision-making, and professional identity formation. She also presented her postdoctoral project conducted within the AFO group in which she addresses translators’ metaphorical selves.
The night proceeded with a roundtable discussion with the other two keynote speakers, Hanne Stensola and Jeppe Have Rasmussen, on how to navigate the ocean of research.
