As a performance interpreter how do you convey a performance written for a hearing audience, to Deaf theatregoers? Join Sarah Gatford as she takes us through the theatre interpreting process from the moment you receive the booking enquiry, right the way through to post-performance reflection.

What cognitive biases could be screwing up your decision making?

What values inform your practice and how do they differ from domain to domain?

How developed are interpreters’ moral judgment and ethical reasoning abilities?

What impact could that have on the assumptions they make in their day-to-day interpreting?

Robyn Dean has informed interpreter training worldwide for many years and joins Linguistpd to discuss the above. She will also share findings from her PhD data which investigates the ethical reasoning abilities of sign language interpreters studied in the US and makes recommendations for future training.
