NSW Branch Presents - A step back to the bigger picture: the changing linguistic landscape of Australia

REGISTRATIONS CLOSED

This PD is being presented by the NSW Branch for its own members as well as those of the ACT, QLD and VIC Branches in conjunction with their respective Annual General Meetings on the day.  You will need to register separately for your own Branch AGM.

This PD session takes a step back from the daily practitioner issues in Interpreting & Translation to look at the evolving language ecology of Australia. It briefly surveys the history of language policy in this country, and uses Census data to show important shifts in the salience of Languages Other than English, and an abiding presence of significant numbers who speak English poorly. It finishes with some ongoing thoughts on both language maintenance and language loss.


Presenter - Dr Uldis Ozolins

Dr Uldis Ozolins is a teacher, researcher and practitioner of Interpreting & Translation, and is one of the best published authors in this field in Australia. He has taught at several Australian universities, currently at Western Sydney and RMIT. He is author of The Politics of Language in Australia (CUP 1993) and co-author of Liaison Interpreting (MUP 1996) and of Community Translation (Bloomsbury 2016). He led the team rewriting the AUSIT Code of Ethics in 2012.
