Our profession is made up of around 85% women. Women of menopausal age = 4 million people in the work place.
It's time to talk about menopause, end the taboo and support women at work. Great talk by 👏🏼

Name one thing more awkward than ending a stream as a small streamer
I'll wait...

Interpreters Vs Robots. How can we adapt to work *with* machines? Will the increasing quality and popularity of signed langauge avatars stop people joining the profression? With huge swathes of the UK SLI industry leaving the profession, what will the next generation do? #awkward

Interpreter working practices will have to change, and they are already.
For simple, standardised information-giving settings, machines can easily replace humans. This is #awkward. We must be aware of the biases built into systems, and how machines can recognise input-diversity

What an eye opening keynote from Selina Jacque to day about intersectionality and interpreters of color. We as an organization would like to be in touch with other networks of the subject #efslimanchester2022 #awkward

Go on !! Not only representing Scotland fabulously at #efslimanchester2022 but also speaking about an #awkward topic - the menopause. Something that the vast majority of our profession will experience and will have to work through yet is never spoken about.

The amazing kicking off day 2 with a brilliant key note about her crucial dissertation research on Intersectionality & Interpreting. Micro and overt racism toward interpreters of colour is real, and we *need* to talk about this more. #efsli2022Manchester #awkward

Are interpreting spaces safe for deaf people? asks. Not really. Are deaf presenters’ presentations the focus or is it the interpretation of our work that gets accolades? Yup. #awkward conversations to be had but necessary. #efslimanchester2022

On the way home from #efsli2022Manchester #awkward so many brilliant thought provoking presentations. Was lovely to meet so many people in the flesh, especially those who previously I have interacted with on twitter.

Taboo language in interpreting covered expertly by this afternoon - choosing to use expletives can mark belonging, bonding and communality and shouldn’t be something to shy away from and omitted! 🙌 #efsli2022Manchester #awkward

Absolute honour and pleasure to have been on the panel to discuss stress, burnout, fatigue and longevity in the interpreting profession #efslimanchester2022 #awkward #professionalsupervision

This was fun to present 😃 With reference to which lets you see the future. But language technologies are not something futuristic for interpreters; they are the ever-improving here and now. #efslimanchester2022 #awkward
