Sara Ramos Pinto

I am an Associate Professor in Translation Studies at the University of Leeds, where I am also currently taking on the role LCS Director of International Activities. In addition to my university roles, I am the Vice-President of the European Society for Translation Studies, an associate editor of Target: International Journal of Translation Studies, the co-lead of the Subtitling Audiences Network, co-editor of the Translation, Interpreting and Mediation series at Leuven University Press and co-organiser of the webinar series Don’t Captionise Me!

My research revolves around subtitling as I am interested in investigating the translation of products that make meaning through visual & auditory, verbal & nonverbal elements and the challenges they bring to translation practice and theory. I am particularly interested in collecting empirical data on how subtitled products are received and perceived by viewers to better understand:

This has led me to develop a new subtitling practice called Enhanced Subtitling (EnSub), about which you can learn more here.

I work at the intersection of translation studies and multimodality, but also to work even more closely with film directors and distributors, broadcasters, cinema venues and subtitling companies and freelancers.
