Profile
During her masters Felicity discovered different types of translations and translation theories. Among that she found a passion for intercultural communication as well as entertainment translation. This led to the creation of her final project; a translated video game. This contained many aspects of entertainment translation, including music, subtitling, dubbing, and storytelling. From this project, she saw the potential video games have in enhancing intercultural communication, this is what she continues to research in her PhD.
