Seeking Translators > Mandarin to English
by Vicky Baker
“From the Ground Up: Buddhism and East Asian Religions " (Frogbear),
is an international, interdisciplinary, multi-year project supported by the
Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), foundations
in East Asia, and over 30 top universities in East Asia, Europe and North
America (for more details about this international consortium, see frogbear.org/ ). The project
is currently seeking translators to translate various documents, articles and
book monographs, from Mandarin Chinese to English.These documents and academic pieces of works are related to various Frogbear-supported publication plans, including a book series on East Asian religions in collaboration with Brill (http://www.brill.com/products/book/chinese-and-tibetan-esoteric-buddhism), several journals including Studies in Chinese Religions (http://www.tandfonline.com/loi/rstu20), and two incoming journals, respectively on Buddhist Studies in general, and Chan Buddhism in particular.
Pay is based on a combination of the length of the document, quality of translation, and previous experience, and turnaround time.
If interested, please send a resume to Frogbear.project@ubc.ca.

Jangseogak Hanmun Summer Workshop (Intensive Literary/Classical Chinese
Training Course for Students and Junior Scholars)
The Jangseogak Archives at the Academy of Korean Studies is accepting
applications for 2018 Jangseogak Hanmun (Classical Chinese) Summer Workshop, a
three-week intensive on-campus language course from 2nd July to 20th July,
2018. We welcome application from undergraduate students, graduate students or
advanced degree holders of Korean Studies and/or East Asian Studies. Applicants
must have studied at least one year of Classical Chinese or completed
comparable course in Asian Studies.The workshop will run for 6 hours from Monday to Friday for three weeks (morning lectures and afternoon practicum for translation), and will also include field trips to explore historic sites related to the reading materials addressed in the workshop.
The workshop aims at creating a global knowledge-building community of Korean studies. All lectures and discussions at the workshop will be conducted in English; at the same time, it will require translation of the original sources into English. Apart from the translation project, each participant will write a no more than ten-to fifteen-page introductory article on one primary source of his/her own choice from a list of fifty texts derived from the Archives (to be completed within six months from the completion of the workshop). The fifty texts will be carefully selected by the scholars of the Archives in consideration of the participants’ expertise and interests. The authorship of each translated piece and article will be accredited to the individual contributor; however, both the translated sources and the introductory articles will belong to the public domain of Korean studies and be published online for academic purposes
The Academy of Korean Studies will provide the participants with round-trip airfare (no more than 1,800 USD), tuition, and board and lodging. Undergraduate and graduate students are required to submit a letter of recommendation from their advisors.
