Managing Editor: Draft 385 / 『みやこ風』 |

This publication grew out of a collaborative final project I led in my MCC385 (Advanced Studies in Translation) class in Winter 2023, which was designed to showcase and critically engage with translation as a creative practice, as well as reflect on the meaning(s) of "bilingual" in phrases like "bilingual education" and "bilingual university."
Work on the publication takes place in both MCC385 and in a student organization on campus (also called Draft 385 / 『みやこ風』), providing students and club members alike the opportunity to experience various roles in the editing, marketing, production and distribution of a small-scale publication. | |
