I offer French-to-English translation services to scholars, journalists and public history institutions. As an American living and working in France since 2017, I am well-versed in the professional norms of French and American history and social science publications. I can work with you to adapt your text to the norms expected by an anglophone audience. I am also a member of ATESS (Association pour la traduction en sciences sociales). My previous translations include academic articles and book chapters in history, political science and sociology. A total of 17 translated articles for special issues of French Politics, Culture and Society and the Revue d’histoire de la Shoah are forthcoming in Fall 2026. Please use the contact page to request information and rates. I look forward to discussing how we might work together.
Je propose des services de traduction du français vers l’anglais à des universitaires, journalistes et institutions culturelles. De nationalité et de formation professionnelle américaines, je vis en France depuis 2017. Je suis à l’aise avec les normes et pratiques universitaires des deux pays en sciences humaines et sociales. Je peux donc vous aider à adapter votre texte aux normes des publications anglophones. Je suis également membre de l’ATESS, l’Association pour la traduction en sciences sociales. Voir ci-dessous une sélection de mes publications ; dix-sept articles pour des numéros spéciaux de French Politics, Culture and Society et la Revue d’histoire de la Shoah sont à paraître en 2026. Veuillez me contacter pour des renseignements ou un devis.
