Now, for the first time, a collection featuring 17 widely respected
scholars depicts the everyday practices of deaf interpreters in
their respective nations. "Deaf Interpreters at Work: International
Insights" presents the history of Deaf translators and interpreters
and details the development of testing and accreditation to raise
their professional profiles. Other chapters delineate the cognitive
processes of Deaf interpreting; Deaf-Deaf interpreter teams; Deaf
and hearing team preparation; the use of Tactile American Sign
Language by those interpreting for the Deaf-Blind community; and
conference interpreting and interpreting teams.
Along with volume coeditors Robert Adam, Christopher Stone, and
Steven D. Collins, contributors include Markus Aro, Karen Bontempo,
Juan Carlos Druetta, Senan Dunne, Eileen Forestal, Della Goswell,
Juli af Klintberg, Patricia Levitzke-Gray, Jemina Napier, Brenda
Nicodemus, Debra Russell, Stephanie Sforza, Marty Taylor, and Linda
Warby. The scope of their research spans the world, including many
unique facets of interpreting by deaf people in Argentina,
Australia, Canada, England, Finland, Ireland, Sweden, and the
United States, establishing this work as the standard in this
burgeoning discipline.
