Awards to support SE Asian- English Translations Translation Project Group, Southeast Asia Council (SEAC), Association for Asian Studies University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA
The Translation Project Group of the Southeast Asia Council (SEAC) of the Association for Asian Studies intends to award subventions to support the translation of key texts not yet published in the social sciences and humanities from a Southeast Asian language into English.
Texts, which may be of any length, will be evaluated according to their importance within a disciplinary study of Southeast Asia, or for their decisive impact on the region.
Proposals will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
1. Importance of the text to scholarship and teaching about the region;
2. Significance of the genre and how well it is represented in existing translations;
3. Qualifications of the translator;
4. Probability of successful completion;
5. Likelihood of publication;
6. Probability of classroom use.
Awards will vary from $750 to $2,000, depending on length of proposed text, and will be made annually.
The deadline for submissions is January 31, 2013. This funding opportunity is being made available by a grant from the Henry Luce Foundation.
