  • The importance of collaboration in Translation - Gender Studies
    Aug 27 2024

    After Following Florencia Aguilar for a couple of year on LinkedIn, i thought it was finally time to invite as a guest.

    I saw that she was organizing a training for translators with a few friends and it seemed to be the perfect opportunity to get to know her/him better.

    This is the conversation I had with these two fascinating people, Florencia Aguilar and Sarah Reinmann Oliveira, about the work they do in Translation and how their work has an impact in society. They deeply believe in collaboration to find the most accurate and fair terminology and ways of expression to address situations that involve gender-related matters.

    I learned a lot from this episode and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

    Community is the key word!
