Most people assume that virtuous historical interpreters always sacrificed their time and would never think of being paid for their work. What if this folk myth could be upended by evidence of payment for ad-hoc services? In particular, documentation from legal settings may surprise you, and revise this lingering, unquestioned paradigm.\u003cbr\u003ePart II: Dual Roles. Many 19 th -century hearing interpreters did their work within a secondary role. Teachers, clergy, and other professionals who could sign were pressed into service, and seeded the interpreting protocols we would recognize today. Do we breeze past that legacy, or oversimplify it as entirely “paternalistic” or embracing a “deficit model”? Do we recognize the steps we took toward a distinct occupation with a professional identity?\u003cbr\u003ePart III: Modern Times. Rates vary widely throughout the U.S., and according to historical evidence, this has always been the case. Where and when have we seen the highest and lowest payment terms, and how far apart are the gaps in decades and dollars? What are the norms and taboos of disclosing and discussing rates? Have staff positions shifted interpreting from services to commodity, or from a profession to management vs. labor? What shapes the boundaries for donating services on volunteer or pro bono assignments?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #860309;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEducational Objectives:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1) Identify early evidence of interpreter labor history that formed the profession over 200 years in the UK and US, and link historical milestones to features of contemporary practice.\u003cbr\u003e2) Question received assumptions that have dominated interpreter labor history, and pivot to thinking for and about our own positionality as workers and professionals.\u003cbr\u003e3) Compare historical and contemporary employment terms in the UK and US.\u003cbr\u003e4) Adopt sound qualitative research practices, digging past personal accounts and recollections toward primary source material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: rgb(134, 3, 9); font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePresenter Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-e8338a36-7fff-426b-9b8b-4f1557d36a4f\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDr. Anne Leahy,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e has been a private practice ASL–English interpreter\/translator, mentor, and speaker since 1989, and currently serves on the RID Interpreting in Religious Spaces Task Force.
