Had a great time presenting my research on the behind-the-scenes roles, practices, and networks of transimperial translators at the @global19c.bsky.social World Congress @unibirmingham.bsky.social last week! Really enjoyed the vibrant program and all the inspiring conversations! 🙏

Congress co-chairs Berny Sèbe and Kevin A. Morrison with one of two keynote speakers Regenia Gagnier, whose lecture approached the long 19th century and globalization through key moments in literature, criticism, and theory
