Laurie Bennett - Farming Bridges, nailing hammers
In our third Episode we sit down to have a chat with newly elected board member and former STIBC treasurer Laurie Bennett. We talked about her journey into the wonderful world of translation and the way it helps bridge cultures and ideas, as well as the work the board of translators does for our society, herl current work in literary translations and what she hopes comes next. You have no idea how much I recommend you listen until the end as in Absolute “Laurie-Fashion” she helps me complete my own ideas regarding Artificial Intelligence and the way it may (or may not) transform not only this profession but also, the world.
