Profile
Daisy graduated from the University of Durham with a BA in Modern Languages and Cultures and then began an MA in Translation and Interpreting Studies at the University of Manchester, completing a thesis entitled 'Catalan Women in English Translation: The Renarration of Mercè Rodoreda’s La plaça del Diamant'. She joined the University of Leeds as a PhD candidate in 2021, generously funded by the AHRC via the White Rose College of the Arts & Humanities (WRoCAH). During her PhD studies, she is continuing to study Mercè Rodoreda and her writing, focusing on the transfer of her fictional works from Catalan into English.
