Department staff
Different languages open up new worlds; translation helps uncover shared meanings, and education transforms encounters with other cultures into a dialogue. Our department brings together lecturers and researchers with diverse academic interests, united by a common goal: to foster precision in language, independence of thought, and openness to cultural diversity. Meet the people who embody these values in their teaching and research.
