Aniela Korzeniowska is Professor in Translation Studies at the Department of Applied Linguistics and Translation Studies and Head of the Scottish Studies Research Group. Over the years, her teaching and research have mainly centred around issues concerning the theory and practice of translation, both from a historical and contemporary perspective. To date she has supervised over a hundred and fifty MA dissertations and has also conducted a PhD seminar in this field of studies. Nine of her doctoral students have received their degrees. She is also a professional translator, specialising in the translation of Polish academic texts into English.
Her second field of interest is Scotland’s languages and literature, which has resulted in a correspondence with and overlapping of Scottish Studies with the above Translation Studies. This has found its own characteristic reflection in her teaching and a great deal of her recent publications.
Also in connection with her academic promotion of Scotland in Poland, she has so far co-organised four Scotland in Europe Conferences (2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018). The fifth one, scheduled for 2020, has been, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, postponed till the autumn of 2022.
