"Some people call me the Space Cowboy..." but you can call me Sign Language Interpreter.

We are called many things, and we actually do one. However, we have a skillset that ranges from the mundane situations to complicated and intense interactions. Should we be a generalist or specialized sign language interpreter these days? What is the difference? This episode explores this discussion.

What are you?

Next week, begins the interview with Dr Carol Patrie.

Amazing moments with amazing people make amazing memories... Amazing, isn't it?

We finish our conversation with Prof Megan Lawton, Sarah Bown, and Rebecca Fenton-Ree, recapping with Megan's advice for starting a sign language interpreting degree today, and hearing some of the amazing moments from all three. But wait, there's more... We also hear from some alumni telling us of their experiences in the program.

Enjoy looking back and looking forward to the future of interpreter education.

Involve the deaf community, obviously! But alcohol to help? hmmm.

The second of 3 in this series of celebratory episodes for the University of Wolverhampton. Their BA (hons) BSL/English program is 30 years old. Today Megan, Sarah, and Becky discuss the overarching principles that helped design the curriculum and mission. We also discuss the influences and impact of the deaf community involvement, technology, collaborations, and much more.

My guests include:

Professor Megan Lawton, Founder
Sarah Bown, Senior Lecturer
Rebecca Fenton-Ree, former Senior Lecturer
(and mentioned: Kristiaan Dekesel, second Head of Department)

Their bios can be seen in the notes of episode 101.

Next week: We get more advice and are told the amazing and fun stories from these key figures and hear from several alumni of this sign language interpreting program at the University of Wolverhampton.

Enjoy.
