Participant Biography
Dr. Teresa Piacentini
... is currently working as a GRAMNet Post Doctoral Researcher based in
the School of Education at the University of Glasgow, on a project entitled: Towards
a Training Model for Effective Ethical Translation in Health Care.
Funded through the Arts and Humanities Research Council/Scottish Funding
Council, the project brings together an interdisciplinary team of researchers
from the School of Education and the College of Medical, Veterinary & Life
Sciences at the University of Glasgow, the School of Health at Glasgow
Caledonian University and Black and Ethnic Minority Infrastructure in Scotland
(a non-HE third sector partner).
The project addresses key social, political and cultural questions relating
to migration, health care provision, health inequalities and translation &
interpreting. The aim of the project is to develop a research-based, pedagogical
model for effective translation in intercultural health care settings, using
drama and role play. Through identifying intercultural communication as an
important missing link in healthcare professional training, the project seeks to
bring arts and social science-based theoretical and methodological approaches
and perspectives to the professional field of medial practice. As a result, the
project aims to identify and provide innovative pathways forward for challenging
structural inequalities as they affect migrant service users, and for developing
greater reflexivity in health care and interpreting practice.
