"Below is the text of a lecture I gave for a symposium Feminist, Queer Translation, Affect and Decoloniality on February 28th 2025, University of Birmingham. It is lightly edited for clarity, with some references added. Thanks to Michaela Baldo, Elena Basile and Samuele Grassi for curating such a special event."

"I dedicate this post to all the killjoy translators out there!  Thank you for all the work and all the creativity!"

"I want to begin with Chicana Palestinan feminist Sarah Ihmoud’s important question “What does it mean to practice feminism in a moment of bearing witness to genocide?” We can be guided by that question. Translation too can be guided by that question. We make our practice that witnessing, the proliferation of witnessing, to translate, to move something, to transform, to mutate, and thus also, to keep alive."

"When Israel murdered Rafaat Alareer, Palestinian poet and scholar, on December 6, 2023, his poem, “If I Must Die,” was translated into many different languages, quickly, urgently, translating as a way of fulfilling an instruction, of receiving a message, that if he must die, then we must live to tell that story.  Salih J. Altoma notes that the poem too “has a story.” He explains that “If I Must Die,” was one of only a small number of poems Alareer wrote in English. Altoma quotes Alareer who explains “we need to train ourselves to express our concerns in the target language, here English…. Palestinians who are able to speak for themselves in other languages should do that directly.” English becomes a “target language” because of the need to get the message to as many people as possible."
