Registered BSL/English Interpreter. PhD student. Interested in all things to do with Interpreting/translation. Views my own.
Why has it taken me over 2 hours to read a 15 page Bourdieu paper? Ugh

Good morning I thought now is a good time to introduce myself. I am a British Sign Language Interpreter and part time PhD student. My research is exploring the lived experiences of BSL interpreters of colour (BSLIOC) in the UK. Hoping to make new connections here ☺️
