Professor Nogueira led the TORCH / All Souls Global Conference 'The Dyer's Hand, Literature and Translation'

‘The Dyer’s Hand: Poetry and Translation’, was an all-day conference in November 2022. It explored the relations and tensions between the composition and the translation of poetry, from Antiquity to the present. Openly endorsing diversity and interdisciplinarity, it featured scholars, poets and translators with richly different backgrounds, and paid special tribute to some intersections of Anglophone and Lusophone literatures.
