On the afternoon of July 1, the “International Communication and Multilingual Interpretation of China” research team of SFL, Northwest University, held its third regular meeting of the semester in the School conference room. Associate Dean He Hua chaired the meeting, with team faculty attending.
Themed “Chinese Perspective, Embedding Pathways,” the meeting discussed three topics: individual research summaries and plans, ways to embed the “Chinese Perspective” in research, and suggestions for team building. Faculty spoke in turn, reviewing their progress this semester in research topic selection, paper writing and publication, and project applications. Drawing on their own research directions, they explored specific embedding pathways for the “Chinese Perspective” in topic positioning, theoretical frameworks, and data interpretation.
During the exchange session, faculty offered suggestions on improving research capacity, team collaboration mechanisms, and meeting organization. On research capacity, they proposed regular small-group exchanges, greater participation in online and offline academic conferences and information sharing; promoting interdisciplinary exchange in the humanities and social sciences; close reading of classic literature and target journals to precisely identify submission directions; and encouraging young faculty to share AI-assisted research experience and tools. On incentives, they suggested the School encourage faculty-student collaboration and co-publication among faculty, and coordinate research resources. On meeting organization, they fully discussed regularizing “journal reading,” embedding specialized skill-sharing, and allocating time between in-depth presentations and brief remarks.
The meeting was lively and featured in-depth exchanges. Through discussion, the team further clarified specific pathways for integrating the “Chinese Perspective” into research, built consensus on team building, and laid a solid foundation for advancing research next semester and improving team meetings.
