Dr Sue-Ann Harding

School of Arts, English and Languages

My principal research interests are in social-narrative theory as a mode of inquiry into translations and translated events, with a particular interest in sites of conflict and narrative contestation. My doctoral work on the Beslan hostage disaster investigated online media, translations and narrative configurations of violent conflict.

Later projects have extended my interests to include intralingual and intersemiotic translation, and I am currently writing a book on the translated spaces of the Qatar desert and urban landscapes.
