The Australian Institute for Interpreters and Translators runs biennial conferences on topics relevant to the fields. This volume collects presentations from its conference in December 2012. The conference was given the title of “Jubilation” to celebrate 25 years of the Institute’s existence. The papers in this collection are organised around three broad themes: (a) “Innovative Practices and Pedagogies in T and I Training”; (b) “Interpreting in the Community: International Experiences”; (c) “Translation: Challenges, Opportunities and Needs”. The papers are consistent with the long-standing flavour of AUSIT conferences, which combine the practical with the theoretical, reflect practice in Australia and around the world, and provide insights into important questions facing all elements of the profession.
"Each of the articles pulls back the curtain from a particular aspect of the profession and allows the reader to gain a greater understanding and appreciation for what it takes to be a competent professional in this field. [...] I am particularly grateful to the planners of the conference and the editors of the book for including material related to interpretation and translation in “community” settings. These include mental health, police, and immigrates. Each of these is becoming increasingly important in a world that no longer has real borders and where people are constantly mixing across those artificial barriers that for some are so important. This, I think, is going to be an increasing area of importance for those involved in interpretation and translation. This is a remarkable book which will broaden your understanding of the role of interpreters and translators."Dr Thomas LawProfessor of Interpreting Services, Missional Universitytomlaw.org, 01.04.2017
