\n\t\t\t\t\tRobert Neather is Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Translation, Interpreting and Intercultural Studies at Hong Kong Baptist University. He was Director of the Centre for Translation there from 2013 to 2019, and currently leads the Arts Faculty\u2019s Framing Public Culture research subgroup. His research has focused mainly on translation in the Chinese museum context, and has explored several areas of interest including verbal\/visual interactions in translation, intertextuality in the construction of translated museum narratives, and issues of expertise and identity in the production of translations involving participants from different professional communities. He also has interests in Buddhist translation, in particular Buddhist contemporary translation communities. His work on museums has been published in a variety of venues including Meta, Semiotica<\/em> and The Translator<\/em>, as well as in a number of translation handbooks and encyclopedias. He was editor for Volume II of the late Martha Cheung\u2019s Chinese Discourse on Translation\u00a0<\/em>(Routledge 2017), and for a number of years served as Executive Editor and Co-Chief Editor of the Hong Kong-based journal, Translation Quarterly<\/em>.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\tSilke Arnold-de Simine is Reader in Memory, Media and Cultural Studies in the Department of Film, Media and Cultural Studies at Birkbeck, University of London. Her research is located at the interface of museum, memory and digital media studies with a special interest in the remembrance and commemoration of difficult, dissonant pasts and their ethical, political, psychological and aesthetic implications. Her research focuses on the question of how personal and cultural memory intersect most importantly but not exclusively in museums and heritage sites that favor immersive and experiential strategies and aim to produce empathy in visitors. Her many publications trace the pathways and the transcultural flow of practices of remembrance across different art forms, media outlets and institutions, with a special interest in immersive and interactive digital media technologies such as Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. She is the author of Mediating Memory in the Museum: Trauma, Empathy, Nostalgia<\/em> (Houndmills: Palgrave Macmillan 2013, paperback 2016) and co-editor of Picturing the Family. Media, Narrative, Memory <\/em>(London: Bloomsbury 2018) and Adapting the Canon. Mediation, Visualization, Interpretation<\/em> (Oxford: Legenda 2020).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
