Workshop Description:
Interpreters face an existential threat – to their careers and, depending on where they work, even to their health. Within a few short years from the start of their work, many interpreters shift from thinking they have found the “best job ever” to considering an early departure from the profession. In addition, interpreters are also experiencing threats from the climate change of work – the very way they now provide services. Increasing amounts of work are occurring online through remote platforms which not only increases demands but decreases controls. Stress, burnout and early departure or attrition are the most researched and ongoing topics in the field, starting as early back as the 1980s. In response to this, there is increased talk about work-life balance, setting boundaries, and self-care. All of this signals that perhaps, interpreting is not a life-long career or, maybe, we are missing effective interventions.
This workshop is designed to consider how we might imagine professional development – a re-imagined practitioner development instead. We will consider how current educational activities within the field are designed and the degree to which they result in the formation of interpreting practitioners. Further, we will imagine other ways to consider practitioner development – those which are also normative and restorative.
Educational objectives:
1. Define the professional development functions of Proctor (2000) of normative,
formative, and restorative.
2. Identify and define Beauchamp & Childress’s four core principles
3. Explain Aristotle’s incommensurable value
4. Define emotional labor and the techniques of surface and deep acting
5. Explain the problem of the concept of “work-life” balance
