Stubborn or Give-Up: Unveiling the World of Deaf Interpreters' Profession
Pauline M. Ballentine
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Lamar University - Beaumont
This dissertation explores the field of deaf interpreting and discusses essential issues, including career barriers, mentorship, and certification. It looks at the tenacity and willpower of deaf interpreters, emphasizing the reasons and networks of support that have allowed them to work for a long time. Studies demonstrate the valuable role deaf interpreters play in fostering understanding among deaf people by applying their unique linguistic and cultural abilities. The research utilizes a narrative inquiry of personal narratives and thematic analysis to understand the interpreters' professions. One significant outcome is the need for mentorship and training programs tailored to the requirements of deaf interpreters. Another outcome recommends revising present training procedures to address the diverse skills and expertise required in this field. The study emphasizes the need for deaf interpreters to flourish in a professional setting that is encouraging and supportive, and it advocates for their acknowledgment and assistance. Through enhancing interpreting support and retention, this initiative intends to improve interpreting services for deaf people by examining factors that contribute to career longevity. Stakeholders, educators, and interpreting businesses can benefit from the study's wider ramifications, which suggests that understanding and supporting deaf interpreters can result in more complete and successful communication approaches, which will benefit deaf people.
