Weltschmerz à Gogo<p>Hey, fellow translators and interpreters in the US (and other sympathetic parties), can we maybe start a chat somewhere to talk about ways to push back against the idea of making English the official language?

Dr Jonathan Downie<p>This is the story of the accidental discovery that changed my research, parts of my theology, my thinking, and most definitely my view of interpreting.</p><p><a href="https://theres.life/tags/Interpreting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Interpreting</span></a> <a href="https://theres.life/tags/church" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>church</span></a> <a href="https://theres.life/tags/theologadon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>theologadon</span></a> <a href="https://theres.life/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>research</span></a> </p><p>(I'm going to make it a thread to make it episodic, even though I could probably fit it into the generous character limits here.)</p><p>It starts here, in the staffroom of the Department of Languages and Intercultural Studies at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. It's empty. We're a couple of hours after the lunchtime rush and most of the staff are probably in classes anyway. If anyone was there, they could probably hear birds singing on the very leafy campus. </p><p>Suddenly, the door swings open and a flustered PhD student slams in, a pile of paper in one hand and probably done stuffed under his other armpit too. Today is not a good day. His supervisors want a draft of his results chapter and, while he has results, they are making very little sense. </p><p>He flops frustratedly into a chair and spreads out sheets of paper over the low table in front of him. A galaxy of transcribed interviews, survey results and participant observation data sits waiting to make sense. If only it wouid make sense. It will make sense, won't it?</p>
