Language is Everything will be presenting a paper at Critical Link 6, an international conference taking place at Aston University in Birmingham from 26th to 30th July 2010.
This will be the first major event devoted to public service interpreting to take place in the UK.
Founded in Canada in 1992, Critical Link is committed to the advancement of the field of public service interpreting in the social, legal and healthcare sectors. The Critical Link International Conference, which is held every three years, brings together academics, interpreting practitioners, employers, trainers, policy makers, service providers and service recipients.
The theme of Critical Link 6 will be Interpreting in a Changing Landscape, and the conference will explore the political, legal, human rights, trans-national, economic, socio-cultural and sociolinguistic aspects of public service interpreting.
Our paper, which we are presenting in partnership with Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust, will look at the role public service professionals can play in interpreter training and education.
We will be bringing you more news and updates on this blog over the coming months. In the meantime, you can book online for the conference here. (Early bird offers are available if you book before 15th April.)
