Profile
I am the programme leader of the MA Audiovisual Translation and Localisation at the University of Leeds, where I teach live subtitling, media access services, and conference interpreting. I launched the International Symposium on Live Subtitling, co-funded the International Association of Respeaking on A.I.R., wrote the first book and Ph.D. thesis on the topic, and designed the live subtitling self-assessment tool MARS. I have researched and published in the fields of live subtitling, conference interpreting, and subtitling strategies; and am co-editing a book for Routledge entitled Teaching Interpreting and Live Subtitling. In 2018, I received an honorary award by the Italian Association of Cochlear Implant Users APIC for my commitment in promoting the empowerment of deaf people through live and pre-recorded subtitling. I was Intellectual Output Leader of the Erasmus+ project LTA on live subtitlers and T2V on Easy-to-Read validators and facilitators, and am currently serving as a partner in the Erasmus+ project CCUV on Easy Italian writing and the Horizon project iDEM on accessibility to the decision-making process; and as a member of the experts group on accessibility in the metaverse for the UN International Telecommunications Unit.
