DESCRIPTION:In this joint presentation\, SENSE members Theresa Truax-Gischl
 er and Maria Sherwood-Smith will consider a recent METM19 conference panel
 ’s findings concerning the American Council of Learned Societies’ Guidelin
 es for the Translation of Social Science Texts\, a document that attempts 
 to specify what is distinctive about social science texts and why translat
 ing them requires an approach that differs from approaches used in transla
 ting scientific\, technical or literary texts. In From the inside out: thi
 nking through the specificity of working with social science texts\, panel
  participants focused on four elements language professionals often wrestl
 e with in social science texts – voice\, style\, concepts\, and generaliza
 bility. The task was twofold: to identify those features of social science
  writing that may differ from writing in the humanities or natural science
 s and to compile practical dilemmas\, skills\, and approaches for language
  professionals working with these texts. As one of the panel participants\
 , Theresa will begin the session with an overview of the ACLS Guidelines a
 nd the panel’s findings.\nIn the practical portions of the presentation\, 
 Theresa and Maria will introduce some examples from humanities and social 
 science texts written by non-native speakers of English and invite partici
 pants to make editing suggestions. This combination of theory and practice
  will generate a discussion about how and to what extent the author editor
 ’s role may differ in these fields\, and how this awareness can help us im
 prove our editing skills.\nIf you plan to attend\, please download and vie
 w the ACLS Guidelines before the meeting. On the day\, bring a copy on pap
 er or on your laptop\, to reference during the meeting.\nPlease register d
 irectly for the event by clicking the ‘Register button’ at the top of this
  page. (Note that no-shows have financial consequences for the society.)\n
 Se7en is a short walk from Utrecht Central Station. The meeting will take 
 place upstairs (check the screens as you enter)\, and a table will be rese
 rved for us to have a drink together downstairs after the meeting conclude
 s. There’s also the option of staying on for a meal – decide on the day. h
