Multilingual Practices and Monolingual Mindsets
Description
In this episode of the Language on the Move Podcast, Brynn Quick speaks with Dr. Jinhyun Cho. Dr. Cho has guested on this show previously, and she is a senior lecturer in the Department of Linguistics at Macquarie University. Her research cuts across translation and interpreting and sociolinguistics, with a focus on language ideologies, language policies and intercultural communication.
In this episode, Brynn and Dr. Cho discuss Dr. Cho’s new book, Multilingual Practices and Monolingual Mindsets: Critical Sociolinguistic Perspectives on Health Care Interpreting. With a novel approach, which sees interpreting as social activities infused with power, Dr. Cho’s research and this book have captured the dynamics of cultural, linguistic, and ethnic power relations in diverse sociolinguistic contexts.
