"Writing Chinese Translation History: The Fourth Young Researchers' Conference"
|
| 1st round screening | |
"Writing Chinese Translation History: The Fourth Young Researchers' Conference" organized by the Research Centre for Translation (RCT), Institute of Chinese Studies, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, will take place in December this year. The first call for papers has generated a total of 134 abstract submissions from all over the world, a record number since the Conference's inception. After careful consideration by Prof. Lawrence Wong, RCT Director, and two honorary researchers of the Centre, 55 submissions have passed the first round screening and their authors have been duly notified. The full papers are expected to be submitted by 31st July, in order to be eligible for the second round screening. We expect around twenty papers will be selected and accepted for presentation at the Conference in Hong Kong. | Some proposals have not been selected since their subjects do not fall within the conference theme; some have been submitted by academics whose qualifications exceed that of a "young researcher". RCT wishes to take this opportunity to thank all the contributors for their entries. We also look forward to your continuous support for other academic and publication activities at RCT. | |
