This book is based on a longitudinal case study of a prestigious HE institution specialising in training professional interpreters.   Adopting an innovative research approach, it investigates a community of aspiring professionals in a HE context by drawing on small story narrative analysis from an ethnographic perspective to provide emic insights into the student community and the development of their social identities. The findings (contextualised by examining the curricula of similar institutions worldwide) suggest that interpreter institutions might not be providing students with a clear and comprehensive picture of the interpreter profession, and not responding to its increasingly complex role in today’s society.Translation and interpretationLanguage and languages—Study and teachingLiterature—TranslationsInterpretinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N47010Language Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N13010Translation Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/828000Translation and interpretation.Language and languages—Study and teaching.Literature—Translations.Interpreting.Language Education.Translation Studies.306.44Runcieman Alan Jamesauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut959993BOOK9910300610303321The Identity of the Professional Interpreter2175773UNINA
