Description
Signed Language Interpreting in the Workplace provides valuable insights into the complex role of signed language interpreters in modern workplaces. Based on an extensive study of interpreted workplace interactions, this book reveals the challenges and opportunities that arise when deaf employees collaborate with hearing colleagues. The author's analysis focuses on the ways in which interpreters facilitate communication between deaf and hearing employees, highlighting the importance of skills such as humor, small talk, and collaborative floor management. By examining real-life examples and practitioner responses, Dickinson sheds light on the complexities of workplace interactions and the need for highly skilled professionals to enable equal integration. This book offers actionable insights for interpreting students, practitioners, trainer, and researchers, making it a valuable resource for anyone working in or with deaf communities.
