Huge congratulations to Honor Place who entered a Cambridge university essay competition over the summer and was rewarded with a Highly Commended by the judging panel. This was a superb achievement, particularly given the number of high calibre entries: over 300 entries were made, with 10 being singled out for particular praise. The title she chose, ‘There is no such thing as the untranslatable’, was both challenging and thought-provoking, and required Honor to think deeply and research widely. She devoted personal time to independent reading around the title and wrote an extremely well-crafted, mature essay, reflecting a fascinating interpretation of her research. We are extremely proud of her and are pleased that her academic prowess has been recognised by such a revered institution.
