AUSIT TAS Branch: Family Violence Training for Interpreters - Presentation by Dr Erika Gonzalez

The two-day event on 5 & 6 February 2022 which was presented by AUSIT and supported by the Tasmanian and Australian Governments under the National Partnership on COVID-19 Domestic and Family Violence Responses was a resounding success.

However, we are very pleased to announce that Dr Gonzalez will be attending in Hobart on Saturday 5 March 2022 to deliver a presentation + workshop, addressing the following themes:

• The Interpreters Model of Professionalism
• Understanding and using the Code of Ethics
• Adapt Ethical Principles When Interpreting For Survivors of Family Violence
• Safety for Interpreters: Decision-Making + Dilemmas

We therefore invite all interested Practitioners to register for in-person attendance on the day in Hobart, or live via Stream.  Those of you who attended the two-day event may wish to re-register for this portion also.  If so, click on the link below. 

We will be providing a copy of the Conference overview with all registration confirmations.

Presenter:  Dr Erika Gonzalez

Dr Erika Gonzalez is a Senior Lecturer in translating and interpreting studies at RMIT University. She is also the National President of the Australian Institute of Interpreters and Translators (AUSIT), and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (UK). 

Her research interests focus on the professionalisation of community T & I and the impact language barriers have on non-English speakers.  Erika is actively involved in the organisation and delivery of national Professional Development initiatives Australia-wide and lobbying for the improvement of professional standards for the translating & interpreting profession.

She believes that in multicultural societies quality T&I services are paramount to enable social equity. 

Her work and efforts as an academic and researcher are focused on achieving such a goal.
