Lydia using a metaphor to explain barriers in a Deafblind person’s life: If a baby elephant is tied to a peg all their life, they won’t know their strength and won’t try to break free even when the physical restriction may be minimal. #WASLI2023

In remote jobs, we are perceived more like machines, as we are turned on and off (often without our control), and we are missing out on the “backstage” element of interpreting (Goffman, 1959) #WASLI2023

Some theory explaining the dimensions of space: the physical space, the social and historical attribution, and how we experience that space. #WASLI2023

Entering a physical space is one element of our preparation for assignments. In remote assignments, this element is missing. #WASLI2023

Different constellations of remote interpreting pose different challenges depending on who is and isn’t visible on screen and positioning in the room with technology, which can affect quality. #WASLI2023

.@loriwhynot: "national SLs have smaller lexicons compared to spoken languages, and that of IS is even smaller" is quite a reductive view on IS (and national sign languages). Might be so when IS is interpreted in real-time, but then that framing needs to be clarified. #wasli2023

Matjas explains that the evolution of sign languages and meeting the needs of our clients provides a constant challenge for hearing interpreters to keep up and broaden their semiotic repertoires and translanguaging skills, using our Deaf colleagues as role models. #WASLI2023

What do to and not to do as a hearing interpreter when a decision (not yours!) regarding a deaf interpreter’s presence needs to be made. Do not refuse their space, do not put the problem with the deaf person. Do: collaborate! 🙌🏼 @NaomiSheneman @WASLI_tweets @wasli2023 #wasli2023

Not all deaf people bring the same DELK. This nuance mentioned by @NaomiSheneman is so critical for an authentic understanding and appreciation of deaf interpreting #wasli2023 @WASLI_tweets @WASLI2023
