0:12 - Translation Studies: how did it emerge and how has it evolved in the last decades?
4:22 - You have been a professional translator, you have worked in academia, you have, perhaps, done both things at the same time, at a certain point; how has the role of the translator as an individual and as a collective changed?
8:38 - Do you believe that this expansion of the discipline -translation not just being interdisciplinary but standing on its own two feet- has caused an atomisation in the last few years? Are translators now becoming specialised in such a way that they create their own subdiscipline?
11:20 - You have led various European and international projects related to translation. Going back to that suspicion against translation as a discipline, separate from any other thing; how were you capable of proving that there was translation beyond linguistics and that there could be a social impact and a relevant policy side to it?
15:48 - Where do you see translation going in the future?

Mona Baker a hypocritical bigot. I don't recall her faking any concerns about the genocide in Syria. Boycott the rabid ant-Semite Mona Baker.
