About

Michael Broughton has taught translation at the University of Melbourne and is now back there as a student completing his PhD on an obscure ancient Chinese text. Aside from studying, Michael works as a translator of Chinese through his business mbChinese, and as an interpreter for Gold Rush Victoria at Sovereign Hill living museum, Ballarat, Victoria.

Michael is interested in how translators and interpreters can best navigate the coming changes to the profession, and is dedicated to finding pathways for meaningful T&I-related work in an AI-dominated future. He is always looking to hear about the experiences and plans of practitioners and others in the industry, so please feel free to get in touch.

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to them and their cultures and to Elders past and present.
