CFP: LASO Panel/ ASA 2015—Deadline Extended to Friday, March 6, 2015
The Lusophone African Studies Organization (LASO) is accepting panel and roundtable proposals for the 58th Annual Meeting of the African Studies Association (ASA) in San Diego, scheduled for November 19- 22, 2015. The theme for this year's conference is "The State and Study of Africa.”
Dear Kairn Klieman,
I can tell you that the research centers at the University of Coimbra pay 7.5 euros per hour to their graduate "tarefeiros" (piece workers or part-time workers) to perform similar tasks. I think that the undergraduate ones earn less, but I don't know precisely how much. As for translations, usually the fee is calculated per-word, and then made to "adjust" to the hourly scheme (the "tarefeiros" get paid an hourly rate that is fictitious and reflects a previously accorded per-word fee for a given piece) in order to maintain a single payment scheme.
