Description
The concept of interpreting abroad as an American Sign Language-English
interpreter may seem unusual, however previously the possibility of traveling and
interpreting for Deaf individuals appeared to be limited to international trips and
cruises, higher education, workshops abroad. In today's era, higher education is
becoming more accessible to the Deaf community which can lead to higher level
positions within companies. Those companies may have various locations across
the globe, in turn allowing individuals to move to live and work abroad. Deaf
individuals may have interpreters provided to provide language access. I will
investigate the experiences that interpreters have when providing American Sign
Language interpreting services abroad.
