Troublesome Terps

36: Interpreting - This is a Woman's World

Listen Later

While the Troublesome Terps have covered gender in interpreting before already (see here or here), it is a topic that will never not be relevant. For this reason, Sarah Hickey - conference interpreter and professional researcher at Nimdzi Insights - is joining us this episode to discuss the ‘feminisation’ of conference interpreting from female interpreters' perspectives.

An interesting, well researched and entertaining look into the gender dynamics of the profession!

Special Guest: Sarah Hickey.
