🌍 What is lost when we translate words, but not humour, rhythm, culture or context? This #EuropeanDayOfLanguages, we’re celebrating the distinctly human creativity involved in moving between languages and cultures.
That idea is at the heart of Oxford’s new Master’s in Creative Translation, led by Queen’s Professor Karen Leeder. Combining academic study with hands-on creative practice, the course will explore translation across literature, theatre, film and experimental media, while asking an increasingly important question in the age of AI: what can human translators do that machines cannot?
As Professor Leeder puts it: “The ability to imagine, interpret, and connect across languages and cultures remains a distinctly human endeavour.”
Students will also benefit from the course’s close connection with the Queen's Translation Exchange (QTE), joining a community of translators through events, reading groups, seminars, and opportunities to get involved as QTE Ambassadors.

♟️ What does organic chemistry have in common with playing a game of chess backwards?
Meet Archie, a fourth-year Chemistry student and this year’s JCR President, who will explain.
We caught up with him to talk about why he loves the challenge of organic chemistry and the things that have made Queen’s feel like home.

🧠 What if we could change the chemistry of one precise area of the brain without invasive surgery?
Extraordinary Junior Research Fellow in Psychology Dr Nima Khalighinejad is developing a pioneering approach which uses focused ultrasound to allow drugs to reach specific regions of the brain.
The research could give neuroscientists a more precise way to investigate how chemicals such as serotonin and dopamine shape everything from mood and motivation to learning and decision-making. We spoke to Nima about his work.

🎉 Congratulations to former Junior Research Fellow Dr Selena Wisnom, whose book 'The Library of Ancient Wisdom: Mesopotamia and the Making of History' has been shortlisted for the 2026 Wolfson History Prize.
Her book explores the remarkable survival of 33,000 clay tablets from ancient Mesopotamia, that reveal a sophisticated world of literature, religion, medicine, magic and more. Now a Lecturer at the University of Leicester, Dr Wisnom said she was thrilled by the recognition and hopes it will encourage more people to study Assyriology.
