Presentation by Academic Communication Equity-BC
Click here for an ASL version of this invitation
There is a shortage of sign language interpreters in BC, with many people feeling the negative
effects.
Addressing this shortage may require us to think in new ways about interpreting services.
Rather than focusing on individual parts of interpreting in BC, we need to step back and see
how these parts interact. In this presentation we will provide an overview of a tool (systems
theory) to help us do this work and begin to apply it to the interpreting system in BC.
By attending this presentation you will be able to:
? Conceptualize interpreting in BC as a system
? Define systems theory
? Discuss the potential benefits of applying a systems theory approach to the interpreting
system in BC
