Raquel de Pedro Ricoy

I hold the Chair of Translation and Interpreting at the University of Stirling (Scotland, UK). Most of my academic career has centred on the training of translators and interpreters and I have also worked as a freelance translator, interpreter and lexicographer. My research interests lie in the social and cultural dimensions of translation and interpreting, especially in relation to interpreting in public-service settings that involves minoritised communities, and in the translation of multimodal texts. I have published extensively and delivered keynote lectures and presentations on these subjects in the Americas, Asia and Europe.

I am Associate Professor in Linguistics at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP). My research interests are language contact, Andean linguistics, ethnographic and socio-cultural approaches to language history, and the dialectology of Peruvian Spanish. My doctoral thesis described the dialectology of the northern Peruvian Andean Spanish and analysed its historical roots. I have also researched and published on Quechua dialectology and Spanish-Quechua contact. Among my books are The Spanish of the Northern Peruvian Andes. A Sociohistorical and Dialectological Account (2016, Oxford: Peter Lang) and, co-authored with Jorge Iván Pérez Silva, Las lenguas del Perú (2009,Lima: PUCP).
