Podcasts about academic language experts

Like many others, we've been exploring the capabilities of AI tools. However, when we started considering their implications in terms of diversity and security, we found ourselves with more questions than answers. We're not afraid to admit that we see potential problems, and we're eager to discuss them. That's why we invited Avi Staiman on the podcast. Avi is the founder and CEO of Academic Language Experts. Soon after the launch of ChatGPT and other AI tools, he started talking about how to use it in research and research management, including in writing proposals. We met Avi at a conference on the topic in Brussels in November 2023, and we agreed to take the conversation to the podcast to balance the potential and the risks. It was a long but fascinating conversation, and as expected, we didn't disagree that much. However, it shows that using AI tools, particularly in writing research proposals, requires skills and consideration. We also discuss how AI tools can level the playing field and perhaps even benefit researchers from minority backgrounds.This episode is produced and edited by Peter Xiong.  You can read more about Avi and follow him here:You can read more about Academic Language Experts at: https://www.aclang.com/You can follow Academic Language Experts on X: https://x.com/ALETranslationYou can follow Academic Language Experts on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/academic-language-experts/ You can follow Avi on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/avi-staiman-academic-language-experts/Thanks for listening.

Chris Hart, Director of Sales and Marketing, and Kim Walker, Director of Trade Publishing at Manchester University Press join Avi to discuss how MUP and other university publishers have changed their model over the last decade and put a major focus on trade publishing over the classic niche academic monograph. We also discuss how being the only academic publisher in Northern England forms a big part of the identity and content published by the press.

Jeffrey joins the podcast to discuss the prevalence of English in the academic ecosystem and in research publishing. Jeffrey critiques the lackadaisical approach US institutions take towards Spanish language content and research and makes a strong argument to follow the Puerto-Rican model which sees greater opportunity, equality, and sophistication in multilingual academic research. About his book: Despite a pronounced shift away from Eurocentrism in Spanish and Hispanic studies departments in US universities, many implicit and explicit vestiges of coloniality remain firmly in place. While certain national and linguistic expressions are privileged, others are silenced with predictable racial and gendered results.  Decolonizing American Spanish: Eurocentrism and the Limits of Foreignness in the Imperial Ecosystem (U Pittsburgh Press, 2022) challenges not only the hegemony of Spain and its colonial pedagogies, but also the characterization of Spanish as a foreign language in the United States. By foregrounding Latin American cultures and local varieties of Spanish and reconceptualizing the foreign as domestic, Jeffrey Herlihy-Mera works to create new conceptual maps, revise inherited ones, and institutionalize marginalized and silenced voices and their stories. Considering the University of Puerto Rico as a point of context, this book brings attention to how translingual solidarity and education, a commitment to social transformation, and the engagement of student voices in their own languages can reinvent colonized education.

Listen to this interview of Avi Staiman, who is CEO, founder, and director of Academic Language Experts. We talk about how complex and how simple editing is. Avi Staiman : "Let me give you an example of where the editing is not about the vocabulary available or the construction of the sentences. Japanese. Japanese academic writing tends to be two things. Number one, it's very repetitive, and this is done to place emphasis on key ideas, which is not something that you see in English writing as much. And secondly, in a lot of Japanese texts, the writing is suggestive. So, if in a typical article in English the author will write, 'We have found X, Y, and Z,' in Japanese they may write something along the lines of 'Our humble suggestion is the following...' That might come across to an English reader as a lack of confidence. The reviewer might say, 'They don't actually know.' But of course, that's not it, because in Japanese academic culture there's a level of humility that's a value there, which for good or for bad, does not exist in English academic culture. So, then, we face this question: Either we render it in a way which the English reviewer will appreciate and understand and know what to do with but at the same time betray the source text, or we honor the source text but maybe reduce the chances that the scholar is going to get accepted because it's nonstandard. So, these are really difficult questions. I think the answer is simple, and that is, really, open lines of communication with the author and laying out these issues. Which is why, when I speak to prospective clients, I tell them that getting the right academic translator or right academic editor is about a lot more than their knowledge of the language. That's the basis. But they need to understand what academic writing is, they need to understand the specific field, and they also need to understand the cultural nuances and differences between different countries and different fields."
