Change For Women, Change The World, Kiana Stewart, Dr. Daryl Lee Jun 2017

Change For Women, Change The World, Kiana Stewart, Dr. Daryl Lee

Journal of Undergraduate Research

My project goal was to translate from French to English significant chapters of a study on gender-based violence (GBV) in Senegal documented by Dr. Fatou Diop Sall. Dr Sall is the head coordinator of GESTES, a Senegalese research group focused on gender equality. A previous group of BYU students and ORCA recipients translated sections of the document that focused on domestic violence, and published the translation with the WomanStats Project, which is the largest statistical database regarding the status of women in the world (Hudson, 2015). The chapters I translated deal with GBV in different spheres, specifically educational spaces (schools, …


A Voice For Women: Translation Of Domestic Violence Research In Senegal, Taylor Madsen, Daryl Lee Feb 2016

A Voice For Women: Translation Of Domestic Violence Research In Senegal, Taylor Madsen, Daryl Lee

Journal of Undergraduate Research

In the fall of 2010, I spent three months working with Senegalese children both in schools and in daaras. While I taught English and administered basic first aid, I met some of the most incredible people who became my friends. Through their friendships, I gained an inside perspective into the homes, schools, and work places of those friends. In many ways, I felt very enriched by those experiences. However, I sensed occasionally undertones of sexual discrimination that saddened and frustrated me. Upon my return to BYU, Daryl Lee informed me that Fatou Diop, a professor at L’Université de Gaston Berger(St. …


Sharing Domestic Violence Research From Senegal With A Global Audience, Charlotte Coleman, Daryl Lee Feb 2016

Sharing Domestic Violence Research From Senegal With A Global Audience, Charlotte Coleman, Daryl Lee

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The United States Department of Justice defines domestic violence as, “a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner,” and goes on to say that it affects “people of all socioeconomic backgrounds and education levels.” Those affected include but are not limited to, “family members, friends, co-workers, other witnesses and the community at large1.” The purpose of our project was to translate a 2013 study entitled Gender-based violence in Senegal: Prevention as an alternative to the perils of justice and security. It was originally …


The Birth Of The Abolitionist Movement In 19th-Century Romania, Under The Influence Of French Revolutionary Discourse, Mihai Scobotovici, Dr. Anca Sprenger Feb 2016

The Birth Of The Abolitionist Movement In 19th-Century Romania, Under The Influence Of French Revolutionary Discourse, Mihai Scobotovici, Dr. Anca Sprenger

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Fragmented into multiple vassal principalities, Romanians had no country of their own until the 20th century. In the 19th century, French revolutionary ideas catalyzed Romanians’ aspirations for political unity and independence, producing the Revolution of 1848 in the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia. Unfortunately, the revolution’s nationalist characteristic has long overshadowed another significant revolutionary goal, namely the abolition of slavery. My study aimed to shed light on Romanian abolitionism by understanding to what extent it was a direct echo of French revolutionary discourse. Thanks to its diaspora of young intellectuals educated and living in France, 19th-century …

Translation From French To English Of A Women’S Rights Study By A Senegal Research Group, Danielle Stanford, Daryl Lee

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The goal of this project was to make an academic study on violence against women in Senegal accessible to a non-French speaking audience. The study was conducted by a university research group on gender issues (GESTES) at the Université Gaston Berger, Saint Louis, Senegal. I worked as part of a team of three translators, rendering it from French into English. GESTES (in English: “Gender and Society Research and Study Group”) is coordinated by Dr. Fatou Diop Sall, a professor at the Université Gaston Berger. Dr Sall’s group study on violence done to women, published in a limited number of copies …


Gestes French-English Translation: Senegalese Women’S Property Rights Research, Charlotte Coleman, Dr. Daryl Lee Jun 2015

Gestes French-English Translation: Senegalese Women’S Property Rights Research, Charlotte Coleman, Dr. Daryl Lee

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The recently released a book called Sex and World Peace addresses the way treatment of women and women’s political security vitally affects all levels of security and social health in society. The book states, “It is time to put the situation of women in the nations of the world as one of the foremost issues facing the international community today.” This translation of the research done on Senegalese women’s property rights for the non-French speaking audience contributes to accomplishing that aspiration in order to inspire further worldwide rectifying action.


“Womenomics:” Translating Women’S Property Rights For A Global Audience, Taylor Madsen, Dr. Daryl Lee Jun 2015

“Womenomics:” Translating Women’S Property Rights For A Global Audience, Taylor Madsen, Dr. Daryl Lee

Journal of Undergraduate Research

With the belief that we could make the world better by improving the quality of life for women, our team of three student translators and one expert mentor undertook the challenge to translate and publish the results of two years of gender studies research conducted in Senegal. Although the research was incredibly localized to a generally overlooked country, the patterns existing within Senegal reflect well those seen in many other underdeveloped countries. Thus, we hoped to provide increased knowledge for important decision-makers in the political, academic, and economic sector.
