Back from the Conference
Well, I’ve returned from the SFÖ conference in Stenungssund now. I enjoyed the lectures and got to meet many people, and since my goals for such an event are making contacts and learning new things, I can say the conference was a success. There were seminars on everything from EU documents to insurance, from searching on the Internet to copyright, and lectures ranging from how to better sell your services to social skills, and from drug slang to workplace ergonomics. In the next posts, I’ll write specifically about some of the lectures, but in the meantime, here are some photographs from Stenungssund.
Originally from Chicago, I lived in southern Sweden for nearly 5.5 years, and moved to southern Wales in September 2006. I completed a Ph.D. translation studies in June 2009 at Swansea University, with a dissertation on the translation of children's literature.
Now I live in Norwich, England, where I am a lecturer at the University of East Anglia, and I also work as a translator, writer, and editor.
