"Blurred Boundaries: Sharpening Perspectives"
Call for Papers
Overview:
The Together Conference is an initiative, born from the collaboration of two independent CPD providers; BSL Interpretations and Sign Senei, dedicated to reshaping the landscape of Sign Language Interpreting and Translation and supported by BSL 365 Interpreter. In response to the changes within our community, we have come together with a shared vision: to create an inclusive space where equality and passion for our professions can thrive, unburdened by the traditional constraints of legacy membership organisations. The Together Conference aims to transcend traditional boundaries, providing a platform where innovative ideas and professional growth can flourish. Our goal is to build a community that champions equality, encourages continuous learning, and supports one another in our collective professional journey. We recognise that progress cannot be achieved in isolation, which is why we have extended invitations to a diverse array of colleagues, encompassing a range of professionals to help guide our work and planning. This collaborative spirit is at the heart of our mission, as we strive to foster a sense of unity and shared purpose, even while we are physically apart.
Call for Papers
We invite experts, practitioners, and scholars in the field of sign language interpretation and translation to submit proposals for presentations that align with the conference theme.
