Alternative Conference to SCMS

[shota ogawa]

Dear Professor Gerow,

If there is a Japanese-language panel that someone is organizing to save, I
am happy to offer my help in translating the scripts. I am unfortunately not
trained in interpretation, so that would be beyond me, but if it would
suffice to have the script translated, I should be able to do 1 or 2
depending on how early I get the scripts.
I have some experience translating academic materials from Japanese to
English (although given the tight schedule, quality will have to be
compromised somewhat).

Best.
