Who we are
Translators
The translators of the works featured on this website are the students taking the Translation, Publishing and Global Circulation course of the Department of Translation, Interpreting and Intercultural Studies at the Hong Kong Baptist University in Semester 1, 2023. The students were working collaboratively in four groups. The goal of this translation work was to learn about various aspect of literary translation, experience the practical aspects of publishing a literary translation, but also to contribute towards several different initiatives to increase the visibility of Hong Kong authors by translating their works in English.
