Masterexamen i konferenstolking på Fachbereich Translations-, Sprach- und Kulturwissenschaft i Germersheim - Mainz universitet (italienska, tyska, engelska) med en masteruppsats om Marie Franzos' liv och arbete (2016). 2017: artikel om Marie Franzos i UeLEX (Germersheimer Übersetzerlexikon). Sedan mars 2022 är jag doktorand på Stockholms universitet på Tolk- och översättarinstitutet.

Undervisning

På grundnivå har jag undervisat:

  • Översättningsteori I inom Översättning II. 
  • Kommunikation i ett flerkulturellt perspektiv inom Översättning I.
  • Yrkesetik och dialogtolkning för konferenstolkar (Tolkning, avancerad nivå).

Forskning

Min avhandling undersöker den österriskiska översättaren Marie Franzos' (1870–1941) roll i att sprida svensk litteratur i tysktalande länder vid sekelskiftet 1900 genom att fokusera på hennes extratextuell och textuell översättarskap, dvs hennes sociala roll och översättande genom en tematisk analys av den bevarade korrespondensen med författare och förläggare samt en textanalys av tre av hennes översättningar. Min huvudhandledare är Yvonne Lindqvist och min biträdande handledare är Elin Svahn.

  • Interdisciplinarity in translation studies: a didactic model for research positioning

    2025. Giada Brighi. Perspectives 33 (3), 596-614

    Artikel

    The seminal role of the Holmes/Toury map within translation studies has led to its use as a didactic tool although neither scholar envisaged this purpose originally. This paper proposes a complementary didactic model to reveal the interdisciplinary layers of research projects after positioning them on the Holmes/Toury map. A critical overview of how maps have evolved from descriptions of the field to having didactic purposes is given, and criticism of the Holmes/Toury map is reviewed to demonstrate its importance for the first positioning of a work. An investigation of eight sample theses indicates the current interdisciplinary research trends and suggests the need for a more refined didactic tool. The proposed model is introduced as a way to fill an evident gap. Its aim is to help students and researchers position their own and other academic work within translation studies to gain deeper awareness in this regard. By presenting a general model for researchers' use, its concrete application to two cases – a book-long and a shorter publication – and a discussion of its strengths and weaknesses, I argue that it is a useful didactic tool for obtaining a clearer overview of the interdisciplinarity typical for research in translation studies.

  • Echoes of the Past, Voices of the Present: Exploring the Intersections of History, Translation, and Politics: Conference Report on History – Translation – Politics, History and Translation Network (HTN) Conference 2024, University of Graz, Austria, 11–14 September, 2024

    2025. Giada Brighi. Mikael: Finnish Journal of Translation and Interpreting Studies 18 (2), 147-150

    Artikel

    The History and Translation Network (HTN) and the Department of Translation Studies of the University of Graz organized the third international conference of the HTN in September 2024 for scholars with an interest in the interplay of history, translation, and politics. The central themes were explored from a range of theoretical and methodological perspectives, reflecting the diverse disciplinary traditions represented by the participants. In doing so, the conference strengthened the interdisciplinary dialogue between historians and translation scholars, fostering new connections and collaborations. The HTN once again affirmed its role as a fruitful platform for expanding the horizons of translation studies.

  • Applying curriculum mapping and constructive alignment to a translator study programme: A case study of translation theory classes at undergraduate level in Sweden

    2025. Giada Brighi. STRIDON 5 (1), 69-91

    Artikel

    In translator education, the longstanding divide between theory and practice continues to shape pedagogical discourse. Translation study programmes are generally highly practice-oriented, with theoretical components occupying marginal positions, despite translation scholars advocating for the benefits of learning translation theory. Empirical studies have shown that theoretical modules often become less appreciated after attending such programmes, suggesting that universities have yet to find effective ways of teaching them. Teachers’ perception of student disengagement within the context of translation theory courses at Stockholm University prompted the present investiga-tion. This study examines undergraduate translation theory modules at the Institute for Interpret-ing and Translation Studies, employing curriculum mapping to analyse the programme at a macro level and constructive alignment to assess the internal coherence of individual modules. The aim is to identify potential misalignments and areas in need of pedagogical revision. Despite the ap-parently aligned structure on the macro level, the micro level analysis shows that there is a lack of alignment in how the intended learning outcomes, teaching and learning activities, and assessment tasks are formulated. Based on the findings, the paper offers suggestions for improvement and pro-poses avenues for further research.
