This volume features contributions from renowned interpreting educators and researchers who explore both traditional and contemporary paradigms in interpreter education. They assess existing research, clarify past and present practices, and advocate for a reevaluation of the foundations of interpreter education as we look to the future. Each chapter includes expert commentary to stimulate reflection and discussion on the evolving needs within the field. Coeditor Christine Monikowski opens the volume by addressing how interpreter educators can effectively balance teaching, practice, and research, accompanied by commentary on the potential to "academize" this semi-professional field. Helen Tebble presents research on medical interpreting through an applied linguistic lens, while Terry Janzen examines the influence of linguistic theory on interpretation research methodologies. Barbara Shaffer explores how interpreting theory informs the interpreter's role, and coeditor Elizabeth A. Winston concludes with insights on integrating evidence-based teaching practices into interpreter education. Additional perspectives from notable educators and researchers, including Rico Peterson, Beppie van den Bogaerde, and Jemina Napier, enrich this innovative collection, offering a global view on the discipline’s challenges and advancements.
