This volume is a glimpse of the history and evolution of CIT, which was founded and held its first conference In October 1979 in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The first step to putting together this volume was for the editors. Dr. Laurie Swabey and Dr. Rachel Herring, to read through the 22 volumes of proceedings published between 1979 and 2018 in order to select papers for inclusion. In selecting papers, they sought to include material that reflected the breadth and depth of the material published in the proceedings. After careful consideration of several criteria, including the goal of reflecting a range of perspectives and approaches from the 40-year history of CIT, fifteen papers were selected for inclusion in the volume. The authors of the selected papers were asked to write a commentary or update their original paper. They were also invited to identify one or more emerging scholars to co-author the newly-written material for this volume. The 15 selected papers and the newly written responses comprise the majority of the volume. The book will serve as a resource for interpreter educators nationally and internationally, including educators working with other language pairs.
The final chapter of the book is an endnote coauthored by Elizabeth Bonni, Rachel Herring, Jeni Rodrigues, and Laurie Swabey. To get a broader view of the field for the concluding chapter, the authors interviewed 20 stakeholders who identified successes and challenges in the field. In these interviews, stakeholders mentioned ongoing issues related to audism and racism with which CIT and the field needs to urgently contend. These themes are also reflected in the 1979 keynote and 2018 conference endnote, which are included in this book.
The preface ends with a list of thank yous to people who supported the creation of this book and also a list of all the CIT conferences.
