You are warmly invited to an online workshop on sensitivity editing and translating led by Anna Merikallio of the University of Turku and NEaT’s very own Julie Uusinarkaus.
When? Thursday, 21 November 2024, 17.00 to 18.30 EET
Where? Zoom
The call to be kind is an introduction to the principles of sensitivity editing and translating.
Language grows and adapts, and the words and phrases we might once have used can be unintentionally harmful. When we are aware of this and keep future readers in mind, the texts we produce will be available to a larger audience and keep language evolving towards greater accessibility and kindness.
The call to be kind will introduce you to the general principles of sensitivity editing and translating and the key factors in psychological accessibility. Having reviewed how they can be applied in practice, the workshop will divide into two groups to work on a selection of texts. Anna will lead one of the groups through the principles of working with gender in translation and editing. Julie will lead the other group through working through ableism issues, both physical and psychological, with a focus on working with clients as an editor. You can sign up for a group when you register for the workshop.
The workshop is limited to 16 attendees. The registration fee is €15 for NEaT members, €25 for members of NEaT’s sister associations, and €40 for non-members. When you register please pay the fee to Nordea BIC NDEAFIHH, IBAN FI48 1237 3000 1522 20, or to the Wise account for your region if you live outside of the Nordic countries. Attendees will receive a Zoom link closer to the event. The workshop will be in English.
