Introduction to the Ethics of Sign Language Interpreting in the Middle East

By Malka

The first work ever to detail ethics for sign language interpreters in the Middle East! Taken from my work in the Gulf as a mentor and teacher to budding interpreters in the region, I combine, modify, and expand on the broadly accepted principles stress-tested in the west and supervised by RID to fit with Islam and Gulf culture.
