Series
Translation and Medical Humanities
Video Embed
Mona Baker’s key note examines the work of recently founded groups of volunteer translators who focus on the intersection of health and the environment.
Contrary to the dominant view of translation as an empowering ‘act of care’, much of the work of these (often well intentioned) groups perpetuate, rather than combatting, epistemic injustice.

Mona Baker is Affiliate Professor at the Centre for Sustainable Health Education (SHE), University of Oslo: https://www.med.uio.no/sustainit/english/people/aca/monba/index.html
