Translated works

Andrew Abbott

I have been translating AA’s works in since 2018. As of 2022, I have finished these three books:

Both CoD and TM are delayed due to issues with the publisher. The current estimated publication timeline is June 2024.

Apart from the books, I also translated several journal articles by AA. Please visit the source page for details.

Other works

For classroom use, I have translated the following pieces for my students. Since most of them are not published, the Chinese versions are not available here. If you are interested in using them for teaching or publishing them in Chinese, please send me an email.

  1. Martin’s TT books has bee picked up by Chongqing University Press for Chinese translation, titled 「领悟」(方法、统计、理论)series. The first installment is out as of 2020.11. The series is being translated by a single translator and he has done a wonderful job (I have read the proofs of his work). I did my versions just because I want to discuss these with my students ahead of the publication. ^
  2. This piece by Cohen is one of my favorites from graduate school. Thanks to Magdalene Lampert’s generosity, we can now publish it, for the first time, in Chinese in the China Rural Education Review.《中国农村教育评论》第六辑 ^
