  • the role of the interpreter in the complex network of requirements, expectations, and perceptions;
  • interpreter training;
  • interpreting principles and practices;
  • interpreting ethics;
  • legal and social contexts for interpreting;
  • cognitive studies of interpreting, especially with eye-tracking technology;
