Research, essays and the blog.
Research · The African linguistic landscape
Beyond client work, I research how meaning, law and institutional concepts travel across languages, and where they resist translation altogether. A particular focus is lexical gaps and untranslatability in West African languages: the points where one language has no single word for another's concept, and what those gaps reveal about how legal and cultural frameworks move between societies.
Speaking · Conferences & workshops
I speak and lead workshops on what it really takes to thrive as a language professional in multicultural international organisations, and on the practical realities of working alongside new translation technologies.
Teaching · Training the next generation
I have taught at the Regional Maritime University in Ghana, working with early- to mid-career translators and language professionals as they build their footing in international and institutional work.
