Translator for Thai Film Documentary

Independent filmmakers are looking for someone to assist our editor with a documentary focused on the current insurgency happening in South Thailand. We are currently in post production and looking for a skilled translator to help us finish the film.

The project requires the translation of short segments that contain Thai and at times Malay (southern Thai) conversations that we will send you via email. There is no shooting script, so the conversations will first need to be transcribed. The rate is $60 per footage hour of translation (requiring about 3 to 4 hours of actual work), and is negotiable if the turnaround is fast.

For more information, please contact Nicke Sorochan <nsorochan@gmail.com>.

Cambodia in World History
Pannasastra University, Phnom Penh
January 5-6, 2009

Teachers Across Borders is circulating a call for a mini-conference on "Cambodia in World History" that will offer Cambodian scholars greater exposure to the field of world history and generate materials for teaching world history at all levels of instruction in Cambodia.
 
Participants will meet at Pannasastra University in Phnom Penh on January 5, 2009 to engage in discussion, offer presentations and hold pro-seminar or roundtables on world history and Cambodia's place in it, arranged to suit paper submissions-which need at this time be only in the form of a title and a short abstract and submitted ideally by December 1 to facilitate the creation of a conference program.   Topics addressed can be comparative (such as monarchy, Buddhism, genocide, constitution-building) or thematic (art, gender, international commerce, colonialism, border issues). The intention to fuel discussion; formal papers can be presented, but also submitted at a later date.
 
On January 6th, TAB hopes to have a workshop-style meeting with Cambodian teachers addressing methods and materials to instructors at all levels of instruction.
 
There are thus opportunities for scholars, scholar-teachers, and curriculum designers/lesson plan developers to participate in the meeting. Those interested in the subject but unable to attend are encouraged to submit papers or materials for consideration for future dissemination and publication in WHC or other venues.
