Christian Griffiths

TransCollaborate Committee Treasurer

Chris is a monolingual subject whose involvement in collaborative translation arose out of the need to access scholarship in languages other than English for research purposes. What better way to get a text translated than to pull a busy colleague away from their own research for weeks at a time? Since then, Chris has been a regular collaborative translator, working in several languages he doesn’t know, including Japanese, Korean, Spanish, German, Italian and Romanian. He is currently trying to become a bilingual subject through an ongoing interest in Korean, but with two kids under five, it’s slow going.
