Chantal Gagnon is a Full Professor at the Université de Montréal, affiliated with the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, specializing in the fields of Translation and Linguistics. Her research focuses on the translation of political discourses in Canada and the analysis of discourse in multilingual contexts. Gagnon explores identity issues in translation, the power relations between Francophone and Anglophone communities in Canada, and the challenges of political translation in the media. For instance, she has demonstrated that in certain contexts, the translation of the term "Canada" carries significant ideological implications, as translations may convey differing values from one language to another. Her methodological approach utilizes critical discourse analysis, and she specializes in studying translation gaps of syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic nature. In her teaching, she has developed an educational wiki site on economic and commercial translation, termed Tradéco, which serves as a resource-rich tool for professional practices and terminology related to translation.
