Dear colleagues,
This is a reminder that we are still looking for participants to review proposals for next year's Global Digital Humanities Symposium<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.msuglobaldh.org/__;!!HXCxUKc!3Ebjfpk…>! (Virtual March 13-15 / In Person March 17) For the 2023 Symposium, we will continue to accept proposals in Spanish and English, and we are excited to accept proposals in Chinese for the first time this year. We hope the added linguistic diversity will help push the symposium further in its goal to draw a global mix of DH perspectives into conversation.
The symposia of past years have been successful thanks to the generous contributions of our reviewers who have helped to shape engaging and wide-ranging scholarly programs. We're hoping to expand our numbers this year, particularly with those who are readers of Spanish and Chinese (Mandarin), and would love to have your participation. If you're interested in reviewing, please fill out this brief form<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/forms.gle/LRMKMjfh5bi8L7mf9__;!!HXCxUKc!…> by Monday, November 28th, 2022.
As a reviewer, you would be assigned 4 to 6 proposals, each of which you'd be asked to evaluate in a short online form. We expect to send reviewers their assignments December 2nd, and will ask for completed reviews by January 6, 2023. As in past years, we run a double-anonymous review process, so you will review proposals without identifying information, and your identity will remain anonymous as well.
The Global DH Symposium is working with Reviews in DH<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/reviewsindh.pubpub.org/__;!!HXCxUKc!3Ebj…> to create a special issue in 2023, focusing on projects shared at the Symposium. The first round of selection for projects to be included in the special issue will be based on feedback from Symposium reviewers. Symposium reviewers will also have the opportunity to be considered to review Symposium projects for the special issue.
Thanks for your attention and if you have any questions, feel free to be in touch.
Thanks,
Kate Topham, on behalf of
Global DH Symposium Planning Committee
Michigan State University

Dear colleagues,
The Global Digital Humanities Symposium<http://msuglobaldh.org/> is in need of Mandarin Chinese-English interpreters for the 8th annual Symposium, the virtual portion of which is scheduled for March 13-15, 2023. This virtual event will take place synchronously using Zoom over three days, with approximately four hours each day of activity and three hours each day of programming. Interpreters will work in teams of two, in shifts lasting not longer than 90 minutes each.
Interpreters would be responsible for providing live, synchronous Mandarin Chinese interpretation of conference presentations in English, and English interpretation of presentations in Mandarin Chinese. During Q&A sessions, interpreters will provide translation of the presenter's answers to questions, but are not responsible for translating questions asked by participants. Interpreters will be given a draft of each presentation a week in advance of the conference in order to assist with preparation.
Compensation and Time Expectations
$80 USD per hour
Each interpreter is likely to be assigned six hours of live interpretation during the span of the Symposium, with an estimated five hours of preparatory work in advance of the event. Details and confirmation of the schedule will come when the program is announced in early February 2023.
Preferred Qualifications
* Native fluency in Mandarin Chinese
* Experience with Digital Humanities and the Humanities generally
* Experience providing live interpretation, especially for an academic conference or in another academic context (strongly preferred)
Required Qualifications
* Fluency in English
* Fluency in Mandarin Chinese
Technical Requirements
* Must have access to a computer
* Must have access to reliable and strong internet connection
* Must have a quiet place for providing the interpretation
* Ideally have quality headset and microphone
Please get in touch with me, Kate Topham (tophamka(a)msu.edu<mailto:tophamka@msu.edu>), by December 7th, 2023 to express your interest in serving as an interpreter for the event. I am also happy to answer any questions about interpretation for the Symposium.
Sincerely,
Kate Topham, on behalf of the Global DH Symposium Planning Committee
