About this event
Hosted by SOAS Centre for Translation Studies, this event launches the book Languages, Cultures, and Health in a Global City: Translating and Communicating Covid-19 Among London’s Multilingual Communities.
The authors will gather and look back on the COVID-19 era. We do not know what will happen when, what to do, or how to prepare for unknown crises. This event will discuss how multilingual communities can prepare for unexpected situations.
