Abstract:
Deaf interpreters (DIs) are sign language interpreters who are deaf and who
may work as part of a team with hearing interpreters. When working with a
hearing interpreter who uses the same national sign language, the DI’s role
is often seen as meeting the needs of deaf clients who are viewed as
lacking proficiency in a named language and/or who are viewed as
monolingual in a named national sign language. DIs are brokers of
understanding who convey meaning to and from individuals at risk of
epistemic injustice because of not meeting a logocentric norm. However,
with reduced opportunities for deaf children in Canada to learn sign
language and a decrease in deaf school populations, the aptitudes and
competencies that underlie DI work, including familiarity with diverse deaf
lives, are increasingly difficult to acquire. At the same time, due to
increasing numbers of Indigenous, immigrant, and refugee deaf individuals
as well as deaf people who do not know a standard national sign language,
there is an urgent need for DIs to facilitate diverse deaf people’s
participation in institutional processes and access to public services.
This presentation reports findings from semi-structured and focus group
interviews regarding DI developmental experiences and perceived training
needs, as part of a three-year study of sign language ideologies and DIs.
