The Lockwood Award “honors each year a musicological book of exceptional merit published during the previous year in any language and in any country by a scholar in the early stages of his or her career who is a member of the AMS or a citizen or permanent resident of Canada or the United States.” Dr. Sonevytsky is currently an assistant professor of music (ethnomusicology) at the University of California, Berkeley.
Translation: RFA Interview With Xiao Qiang
Posted by Josh Rudolph | Dec 10, 2018
As part of their ongoing series “Internet Contest,” Radio Free Asia’s Mandarin Service last month interviewed China Digital Times’ Founder and Editor-in-Chief Xiao Qiang. CDT has
translated the interview in full, in which Xiao discusses what led him to a career as a human rights activist, the beginnings of CDT, and CDT’s work covering internet censorship in China. The host’s descriptions of regular series and general content focus on the CDT Chinese site, though CDT English does regularly translate some of this content (most notably the “Directives From the Ministry of Truth” series).
