How do you do that?! We're not sure.

Zane Hema takes us behind the scenes of the project in Oceania. We learn about the weekly lessons, how plans have changed, who is working tirelessly, and why. Plus, he gives us a sneak peek into what's next when this project comes to an "end".

Lovely to speak with our colleague Zane Hema again. Enjoy.

A Pacific Plea turned into a Project

We shine the SPOTLIGHT on fellow sign language interpreter Zane Hema and the team he works with in this episode. The light spreads as Zane illuminates the details of a grand project to bring formal training to sign language interpreters throughout Oceania. What started off as a conversation and requests for support became a blossoming 26-week program.

Enjoy part 1 of the project's story through the eyes of Zane Hema.

Ethics, schmethics! Who needs them? They're just going to change.

Julie Kléne, LSF interpreter from France, continues with her story. We discuss ethics in sign language interpreting and how they change according to the situation, our character, and how learning a language expands after experiencing immersion in native language-use settings.

Let us know what you think.

Who said that?! I did. Who are you? None o' your business.

Social media has us all questioning ourselves and everyone's "real life". Sometimes it's not a place you can trust.

Today I discuss why some people post anonymously on social media platforms. Is it OK? Why does it matter? Or does it? Let's think about these issues in this episode.

NOT YOU AGAIN!? OK, fine...

As sign language interpreters we deal with difficult situations, emotional decisions, and hard tasks. In addition, we work with people who can be unpleasant. How do we balance our professional role, our ally-based role, and our moral compass with having to accommodate frustrating demands from annoying people-situations??

Wow, that's a very difficult topic to discuss. Let's do it with our professional and transparent respect. Shall we?
