The translations team works on translating academic reading and pedagogic material into different languages. We create these translations for the use of teachers and educators in higher education programmes, with a focus on Kannada and Hindi.

A primary part of our work involves translating academic readings and book chapters for Master’s programmes in the fields of Development and Education.

Anuvada Sampada, the University’s translations repository, is a free, open access, online repository of academic resources in Indian languages, to support students and teachers to engage more deeply with concepts and ideas.

We are looking for someone to develop, implement, track, promote, increase, and optimise the reach and use of academic resources uploaded on Anuvada Sampada. The role entails a strong grasp of digital communication tools and the ability to build communities, drive engagement and extend the outreach for Anuvada Sampada across both physical and digital channels to reach students, Teachers, Teacher Educators, members working with schools, research scholars, and academic institutions.
