Dr Gabrielle Maas
College Lecturer in French
Gabrielle teaches prose (English to French translation) to all years, and Grammar & Usage for Prelims.
She has been a freelance translator from French and Italian since 2009, specialising in political philosophy.
Alongside languages Gabi has worked as a violinist with groups including Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique, Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Instruments of Time & Truth. She has also tried to learn the basics of traditional music styles in North Africa, Sweden and south India, and loves playing Irish pub sessions.
Her DPhil (2014) combined these interests in a study of activist song and language politics among Algerian Berber musicians living in France.
She is happy to talk to students in ML or other subjects who are interested in language-learning, translation, or intersections of music and languages.
