In 2001 I transferred to the English Department where I had to put the deconstructive skills picked up during my studies in good use teaching literary history in addition to classes on modern and postmodern literature. I was also engaged in editorial work in various literary projects. Along with my academic career I have been working as a certified translator publishing both academic translations and popular fiction.
