J Devaux

After graduating with an MA in Translation and Interpreting, Jérôme worked for several years as a freelance translator and conference/public service interpreter. He is now a senior tutor in French and Translation and Interpreting Studies, and a PhD candidate at the University of Salford. His research interests lie within the field of public service interpreting, and more particularly in the use of new technologies in interpreter-mediated court hearings. His doctoral thesis examines the court interpreters’ perceptions of their role(s) when they work via videoconference systems in England and Wales. His approach is anchored within Role-Space and Actor-Network Theory, a sociological framework which analyses the interaction between human and non-human actor.
