Themes of Moral Injury in the Field of ASL Interpreting
Get PDFThis research project explores connections between a moral injury framework and the recognition and mitigation of ethical stress and trauma experienced by ASL-English interpreters. I have employed strategies such as thick description, textual analysis, and a narrative synthesis of existing literature on moral injury and ethical stress in interpreting to arrive at my findings. The study explains Demand Control Schema (DCS) and the Code of Professional Conduct (CPC) as valuable tools for interpreters to discuss and address ethical stresses that arise in their work. Additionally, I examine the concept of role space and its relevance to the experience of ethical/moral stress and the critical theme of trust within interpreting contexts. My analysis found that moral injury risks create significant dilemmas for interpreters by eroding both trust in the systems of training and guidelines for conduct for protecting interpreters and their clients and trust in one’s personal skills and abilities. By highlighting existing gaps in the literature on moral injury as it pertains to the profession. I address these gaps by fostering discussions about ethical decision-making frameworks in interpreting through the lens of trauma, moral injury, and trust while identifying potential issues within these frameworks. These new conversations can enhance awareness of trauma and moral injury in the interpreting field, ultimately leading to strategies for mitigation and improved well-being for interpreters. This capstone aims to initiate essential dialogues in interpreting, focusing on the critical and often overlooked area of trust and ethical considerations
The Missing Link: Connecting Hearing Parents of Deaf Children to Resources that Re-center Language Access Decisions Around Their Deaf Child
Get PDFCountless DHH children around the world experience language deprivation (National Association of the Deaf, n.d.). The deprivation of language severely impacts on a child’s comprehension and communication, limiting essential information for growth; in contrast, a hearing child would have advantageous access. Language deprivation occurs when parents cannot access or are unaware about resources to make educated decisions that center around their child (National Association of the Deaf, n.d.). This three-section project examines the experience of a Deaf individual born into a hearing family with no structural language access until his teenage years, highlighting the long-term impact of limited language exposure and the need for systemic change. The first section is a literature review on modern research regarding language deprivation, the bilingual-bimodal (BB) approach to language acquisition. This project includes critical aspects of language delay, citing dinner table syndrome and lack of incidental learning within language deprived DHH children. This project also examines research published during the 1970s–my father’s critical development period–alongside a perspective on hearing devices, and the Deaf community’s perspective on language acquisition. The second is a series of artifacts from my father’s oral history that aids readers better understand the impact of limited language access. And finally, the third is a professional report and collaboration with the Mayor’s Office of the Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing (MODDHH) and D.C.’s Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) program. The project leads to a brochure for parents to access, constructed in a concise, user-friendly showcase as presentation material. This project aims to inspire systemic change and improve resource accessibility for parents of DHH children across the country
