Steering Committee

The EATPA network is steered by a committee of colleagues engaged in translation pedagogy of East Asian languages on different continents:

Prof. Martin Ward         Martin teaches Chinese and Japanese translation at the University of Leeds at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. He has particular research interests in advancing pedagogical methods for East Asian languages and supporting student employability. He founded the EATPA network in late 2020.

Dr. Christopher Payne          Christopher teaches at the University of Toronto in the English and Chinese Translation programme, Department of Language Studies. His research interests include contemporary sinophone literary production, literary translation and critical theory, as well as contemporary visual arts from across Asia. He joined EATPA in early 2021.

Dr Yu Kit CHEUNG          Yu Kit is Lecturer in Chinese Translation Studies at The University of Manchester. He has recently edited the Chinese translation of an academic volume on Translation Studies and published several academic articles on Confucianism, literary translation, and translation pedagogy. He is keen to share his thoughts with his readers on language and translation on his personal website Fans of Translation, where he publishes short articles on these two subjects on a regular basis.

Dr Tamaki Mihic         Tamaki teaches Japanese language and translation at the University of Sydney. Her research interests are in contemporary Japanese literature, exophonic literature, Translation Studies and Comparative Literature. She joined EATPA in December 2020.
