Overview
Explores the connection between language and trauma to demonstrate how language interacts with healthcare, education, interpreting, narrative construction and mental health.
This edited volume brings together scholars in applied linguistics who use trauma-informed theories and practices. Organized across three themes – narrative, interpreting and language education – the chapters examine the relationship between language and trauma, with particular attention to multilingual and migrant communities in Western contexts.
The chapter authors collate research to date and present new findings on topics such as narrating traumatic experiences, trauma-informed interviewing and interpreting, trauma-informed teaching and pedagogy, vicarious trauma among practitioners, and the relationship between trauma and language learning.
As global displacement and migration continue to rise, this volume offers timely insights and practical recommendations for more trauma-informed policies and practices. It will be of interest to educators, interpreters, researchers and professionals in law, healthcare and social services.
