In collaboration with Dr Leah Gerber and Dr Lintao Qi (Translation and Interpreting Studies) and Dr Mridula Nath Chakraborty (Monash Intercultural Lab)This workshop forms part of research undertaken as part of the Monash University research project Showcasing Australian Literature in China Through Translation, funded by the Australia China Council.
