Clara Chuan Yu is a researcher, editor and ethnographer whose research is principally situated in the field of translation studies and also intersects with others such as anthropology, and media and communication studies. One of the motivations that drives her work is her curiosity about people – in particular, ordinary citizens who deploy language and translation as tools for self-expression, representation and empowerment. Her projects include the ways in which the internet users collaborate and interact with each other to produce translated content in the digital space; and more recently, the linguistically and culturally mediated communication needs of Hong Kong’s ethnic minority communities. Outside of research, Clara enjoys reading, swimming and travelling, exploring nature, culture and local communities where possible.
