Book on respeaking 

I am currently co-authoring a book on respeaking teaching with Dr Elena Davitti from the University of Surrey, to be published by Routledge. The project is still in its early stages, with the manuscript development and research phases currently underway. The book is scheduled for completion by 2028 and aims to contribute to the growing field of respeaking pedagogy and interpreter training. It will be part of Surrey and Leeds training into live subtitling.

Book on parliamentary reporting

I am currently co-authoring a book on parliamentary reporting with John Vice OBE (UK Parliament), Eero Voutilainen (Finnish Parliament), Henk Jan Eras (Dutch Parliament), and Marionne Cronin (Parliament of British Columbia). The book is intended to become a core reference for the module on Respeaking: Reporting and Live Subtitling, providing students with a comprehensive resource on the theory, practice, and professional skills involved in parliamentary reporting. The project is currently in development – publication expected in 2027 – and aims to support the growing recognition of parliamentary reporting as a key area within intralingual translation pedagogy.

Easy language corpus

I am currently collaborating with Nouran Khallaf and Serge Sharoff on the development of a corpus-based resource focused on identifying linguistic patterns that can help artificial intelligence systems better simplify democratic texts for people with reading difficulties. The project aims to advance research into accessible communication by providing data-driven insights into how complex civic and institutional language can be transformed into clearer and more inclusive forms. The corpus will serve as a core resource for the teaching of the module on easy-to-read translation, supporting students in understanding the principles and practices of translating from standard English into Easy Read. It will also become an integral part of my wider teaching resources. Through this work, we aim to contribute to the creation of more inclusive approaches to language technologies, to improve access to democratic information for diverse audiences, and shape the future of Easy to Read pedagogy. The project is aimed at a second round of funding.
