Grants/Requests/2020/UVic Honorary Resident Wikipedian Translation Project
Description[edit]
At the University of Victoria, the Electronic Textual Cultures Lab and the UVic Libraries partners with the Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) Partnership and the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences to appoint an annual Honorary Resident Wikipedian. Our Honorary Resident Wikipedian bridges academic and non-academic communities by consulting on Wikipedia pages, giving talks, and contributing to Wikipedia edit-a-thons. Nastasia Herold (U Leipzig) is the Honorary Resident Wikipedian for 2021–22, and she gave a talk with Thérèse Ottawa in October 2021 titled “Ethics and Responsibilities of Open Access and its Realization in the Atikamekw First Nation’s Wikipedia.”
In June 2022, Herold and Ottawa will provide another talk on their work together tentatively titled “Nothing About Us Without Us: Implementing the Perspective of the People We Do Research With.” As with the October talk, Herold and Ottawa will review the creation of the Wikipetcia Atikamekw Nehiromowin project, but this time they will focus on best practices for academic / community collaboration on Wikipedia. For this talk, we would like to have full, live translation / interpretation capabilities between French and English, as well as translation / interpretation into Atikamekw. Herold is fluent in English, French, and German and Ottawa is fluent in French and Atikamekw; however, our community tends to be largely English speakers who would not be able to understand a non-English presentation. Translation into Atikamekw also ensures that the presentation is accessible to members of the Atikamekw First Nation whose first language is Atikamekw. Multilingual translation / interpretation guarantees that all can communicate and engage with the material in the language(s) they are most comfortable using. The talk will be streamed online and a recording will be available for viewing after the fact as well.
Although the October 2021 was made accessible in French and English via bilingual subtitles, we would also like to retroactively translate the transcript into Atikamekw.
Our goal in having live translation / interpretation for the June 2022 talk and transcription translation of the October 2021 talk is to meet the needs of a pan-Canadian audience who may be predominantly fluent in English, French, or Atikamekw but not necessarily all three languages. These translation activities meet our overarching mission, which is to research and facilitate open social scholarship in Canada at scale.
