We are delighted to celebrate the award of an honorary Doctor of Letters (DLitt) degree to Antonia Lloyd-Jones, one of the most distinguished British translators of Polish literature. The degree was conferred by the University of Glasgow on 30 June 2026 in recognition of her outstanding contribution to literary translation and intercultural exchange.

We are especially proud to honour a translator whose work has helped bring Polish literature to English-speaking readers around the world.
