Dean and Maffia publish research on interpreting students and working interpreters

Robyn Dean, associate professor, and Danny Maffia, senior lecturer and interpreting program director, both in the Department of ASL and Interpreting Education, published “Are Two Heads Better Than One? Interpreting Students’ Moral Reasoning Skills” in the International Journal of Interpreter Education. The study compares the moral reasoning skills of interpreting students and working interpreters. Results of the study found that over the course of three years, different classes of third-year interpreting students’ average scores were significantly higher than those of working interpreters.
