Presented at the 2023 Summit

The Significant Impact of Quick Research, Comicon Version!

0.2 CEUs, GS

Have you ever accepted a very niche-specific job and immediately thought “WHY DID I TAKE THAT?” As an interpreter it is important to render the message faithfully, but how do you render “It’s bigger on the inside!”? What the heck does that mean? Well I can tell you who knows; the presenter and the client. As the intermediary, how do you deliver the content without taking away the whimsey of this statement? Well have no fear, this workshop will help you add to your already ginormous toolbag of skills, give you practice on how to quickly research, and build your confidence enough to say “I got this!”. Breakout sessions and hands-on items will be utilized to practice quick research. I will teach strategies and give examples then allow groups to work together with their personal devices to look up information before presenting what they find to the group. People will be able to have a better understanding of how to quickly research a topic/actor/concept that is very niche. Utilizing this strategy is not only good for a niche situation, but for everyday interpreting jobs.

Elizabeth Peige Turner

Peige Turner is from Kansas City Missouri and has been interpreting professionally since 2011. She holds a level 4 MICS and attended the ITP program at Maple Woods Community College in 1998. Little did she know, as a teenager, that this randomly chosen program would become her passion. Starting the ITP only knowing half of the alphabet, and signing ‘F’ rather than ‘D’, she instantly found a community she never wanted to leave. Peige is a world traveler, and scuba diver and loves a unique adventure. As you can tell by her name, (page-turner, like a book) it is her duty to tell stories. That is one of the reasons the Deaf community is so important to her. Who knew someone would become a better storyteller in their second language!
