The following schedule is subject to change.
| July 21 | Carl Stimson | Translating Oriental Medicine into English |
| The ancient therapies of
acupuncture and Oriental herbalism have only been practiced widely in
the West for around 40 years. However, the past 20 years have seen rapid
development in the field, with government licensing of acupuncturists,
health insurance coverage and an increased interest in research on the
topic. As the vast majority of the literature is in Chinese, Japanese or
Korean, translation of modern and ancient source texts has been an
important part of the field's growth. Although terminology for nearly all medical disciplines originated in the West, Oriental medicine is the opposite, causing many challenges for translators. Carl Stimson is a licensed acupuncturist in the USA and has been involved in translation since 2007. |
