As one of Dr Dickinson’s research participants notes, ‘The ‘…quick jokey comments, ‘in- jokes’ and asides’ are ‘…a vital part of making the Deaf person feel a part of the team’.  Workplace humour can make relationships, enhance career opportunities and make the 9-5 that much more pleasurable.

However, it’s not easy to interpret. What strategies can we employ to deal with the differences between Deaf and Hearing humour? What is the play frame and how do we communicate that to our Deaf client? Dr Dickinson covers this and so much more in her 2 hour webinar.

Hear from your fellow interpreters in France, the US and the UK about how the video relay industries in their countries began and what impacts their practice in more recent times.

In our UK section, we discuss how COVID has affected video relay interpreting and individual interpreters, and how you can adapt to the future working landscape.

Kellyeanne enlightens us about a variety of topics including video relay interpreting, working with Deaf/Relay Interpreters and legal interpreter training. She also explains why consecutive interpreting is favoured in court and discusses the need for more self-evaluation.
