KC99: Translanguaging Translated into Simplified Chinese

Key Concepts in ICDContinuing translations of Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue, today I am posting KC99: Translanguaging, originally written by Mohammed Guamguami for publication in 2021, and now translated by Yan Qiu into Simplified Chinese.

As always, all Key Concepts are available as free PDFs; just click on the thumbnail to download. Lists organized chronologically by publication date and number, alphabetically by concept in English, and by languages into which they have been translated, are available, as is a page of acknowledgments with the names of all authors, translators, and reviewers.

Key Concept #99: Translanguaging Translated into Simplified ChineseGuamguami, M. (2025). Translanguaging [Simplified Chinese]. (Y. Qiu, Trans.) Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue, 99. Available from: https://centerforinterculturaldialogue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/kc99-translanguaging_simplified-chinese.pdf

If you are interested in translating one of the Key Concepts, please contact me for approval first because dozens are currently in process. As always, if there is a concept you think should be written up as one of the Key Concepts, whether in English or any other language, propose it. If you are new to CID, please provide a brief resume. This opportunity is open to masters students and above, on the assumption that some familiarity with academic conventions generally, and discussion of intercultural dialogue specifically, are useful.

U Edinburgh: IASH Postdocs: Making A Nation (UK)

Postdocs

Postdocs and Early Career Fellowships: Making a Nation, Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH), University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK. Deadline: 25 April 2025.

IASH is pleased to offer a range of postdoctoral and early-career Fellowships for recent graduates. Closing dates for application are late February and late April each year for visits in the following academic year. The theme for 2025-26 will be Making A Nation. This will be a year-long exploration of independence and nation-making, culminating in the 250th anniversary of the ratification of the US Declaration of Independence on 4 July 2026.

The theme of nation-building raises deeper, more critical questions about the nature of legitimacy and the politics of identity: for whom and by whom nationhood is claimed. It also raises questions of land use and (dis)possession and the intricate relationship between territoriality and (de)coloniality. In a world beset by conflict, what might we learn from past examples of nation-making that enable a more positive and just vision of what it means to belong?

It is important to note that they still welcome applications on all topics and in all areas of the arts, humanities and social sciences to continue IASH’s traditional interdisciplinary work across CAHSS schools, alongside Making A Nation.
