Achieving Immersive Gameplay: Interpreters and Video Game Accessibility

ASL/English interpreters (ASLEI) are exploring their influence and how they impact the communities they work with. Sensitive to oppression and marginalization of the needs of the d/Deaf community, interpreters and interpreting students are looking at how they can best support greater accessibility for people with who identify as d/Deaf or hard of hearing.

Misinformed but Well Meaning: Ethnic Cleansing and United States Newspaper Coverage of the Bosnian War From 1992-1995

The Bosnian War and the atrocities that accompanied it headlined media sources around the world from 1992 to 1995. Journalists who covered the war later produced memoirs of their time within the region. These accounts influenced the views and language of other journalists who wrote for newspapers in the United States at the time. This can be seen through the development of common language among journalists, such as the term “ethnic cleansing.” This project examines articles from United States newspapers, from their early coverage of the conflict to their later efforts to encourage American intervention in Bosnia. These newspapers guided their readership to support an interventionist policy by the United States, which was realized in the Dayton Agreement

Making the Dream Work: Teaming Intimacy for Interpreters in Freelance Settings

Intimacy is a quality of a relationship, and includes trust, open self-disclosure, emotional closeness, and reciprocity (Timmerman, 1991). It is measurable only by the perceptions of members of the relationship. This concept, considered in terms of the Choice-Constraint Approach to Studying Similarity in Intimacy (Mollenhorst, Völurker, & Flap, 2008), has important implications for teaming freelance interpreters who must work together. Intimacy has also been linked to self-efficacy and sense of community theories, which are used as frameworks in this paper. The goal of this research is to identify perceptions which impact teaming intimacy and discuss the importance of intimacy for teaming freelance interpreters. Data was collected on my perceptions of intimacy, using a Likert scale to gauge personal trust, professional trust, open self-disclosure, emotional closeness, and reciprocity, based on Timmerman’s (1991) concept of intimacy. My own perceptions about basic, general characteristics about teams was also noted and journal entries collected post-job were analyzed to look for patterns of emotion-based words and whether those related to teaming intimacy

Domestic Relations

The law of domestic relations is an attempt to manage the lives of numerous, divergent family members who more than likely differ in their familial values. Much of this body of law is the result of history, but today the marital relationship seems to be changing in a revolutionary manner. In Georgia in 1978 there was approximately 1 divorce for every 2.16 marriages. This survey of domestic relations law covers cases from 149 Ga. App. 595 to 153 Ga. App. 742, and from 243 Ga. 436 to 245 Ga. 628. However, only the most noteworthy are discussed here, and for analytical purposes they have been categorized as follows: divorce, alimony, custody and adoption. A section on legislation concludes the article
