James Hadley recently joined Trinity as the Ussher Assistant Professor in Literary Translation. He previously worked as the Translation/Translingual Studies researcher at the Institute of Modern Languages Research, School of Advanced Study, University of London. His research is representative of his wide-ranging interests, many of which centre on historical cases of translation in under-researched cultural contexts, particularly in East Asia. James is currently working on a project on the global phenomenon of indirect translations, that is, translations of translations.
