Programs in Eurasia on Translation, Interpretation, and Journalism

[Josh Wilson]

Dear SEELANGers!

 

Are your students looking for professional skills? 

The School of Russian and Asian Studies (SRAS) is launching a new
Moscow-based summer seminar in translation and interpretation. We have also
adjusted our Home and Abroad program to focus more on building participants'
professional skills. 

 

Translation/Interpretation: 

 

SRAS's Translation & Interpretation Summer Seminar will include four
intensive weeks of training in advanced Russian and translation and
interpretation techniques. It will cover practical aspects of starting and
managing a career. Students can also add an optional month-long translation
internship. This program is hosted by The Russian Fellowship in cooperation
with The Russian Translation Company, The School of Russian and Asian
Studies, and Moscow State University. The Russian Fellowship was started by
Mr Pavel Palazhchenko, who was and remains an interpreter to Mikhail
Gorbachev. Students will gain practical experience, in part, by interpreting
for high-level speakers invited to speak to the group in Russian on issues
of political, diplomatic, military, and/or cultural significance.  

Dates: June 14 - July 14, 2013

Home and Abroad: 

SRAS's Home and Abroad program has been split into two focused professional
tracks. Both tracks offer $10,000 to students looking to spend a year
developing their skills. 

 

Home and Abroad: Report will be based in Kiev for the 2013-14 academic year.
Students will research and write articles and other materials related to
politics, culture, food, and/or international relations in Eurasia. The
internship will begin under the staff of SRAS and its publications and then
largely move to Kyiv Weekly, Kyiv Post, or similar.

Dates: June 1, 2013 - May 17, 2014

Home and Abroad: Translate will be based in Bishkek for the 2013-14 academic
year. Students will translate and/or write texts ranging in subject matter
from business to politics to culture. These projects will be designed to
widen students' Russian vocabularies while helping them develop marketable
skills in translating and a wide, published portfolio of written research
works.

Dates: June 1, 2013 - May 17, 2014
