“…This view aligns with calls for teleological perspectives in interpreting practice and training (Dean & Pollard, 2018;Enríquez Raído et al, 2020), and contradicts previous research in Aotearoa New Zealand (Ministry of Business Innovation & Employment [MBIE], 2016) that found an alignment between users' expectations of their interpreters and the guidelines in the code of ethics (NZSTI, 2013). In this sense, it is possible that using a culturally affirming methodology based on a Latin American epistemology made it possible for this research to access a different kind of knowledge regarding users' views on the interpreter role, as the manner research is conducted affects its capacity to represent marginalised populations (Fernández Santana et al, 2019).…”

Community interpreting norms and research have been heavily influenced by a Western-centric community of practitioners and an individualist, positivist philosophy. This has resulted not only in an entrenched emphasis on professional interpreters’ detachment, neutrality, and invisibility but also in research which often ignores interpreting service users from culturally and linguistically diverse communities. This article addresses the complexity of operationalising horizontal methodologies during interpreting research in an effort to centre marginalised voices and epistemologies. The study involved a research project conducted with the Latin American community in Aotearoa New Zealand, employing horizontal one-on-one and group dialogues to assess interpreting service users’ views on allyship and social justice in spoken-language community interpreting. In this article, horizontal methodologies are presented as a culturally affirming way for Latin American service users to co-produce knowledge, and for Latin American researchers to engage with their own identity, recognise their impact on society, and challenge colonial research practices and interpreting norms.

“…As a very vital tool in African Oral traditional storytelling; a form of communal space to discuss issues within the community, and as a form of public education, fireside chat is apt for the story-gathering process in AOTS Framework. Like liming and ole talk in Caribbean research methodologies, fireside chat can extend beyond its communicative and social role to frame story gathering, sharing, and analysis (Nakhid-Chatoor et al, 2018; Santana et al, 2019) in the research process.…”

Oral traditions have played and continue to play a critical role in the lives of African peoples albeit changes in context and usage. In this article, I discuss the development of what I term the African Oral Traditional Storytelling (AOTS) Framework as an ethical and culturally centered approach to studying with African peoples. Akin to narrative inquiry methodology, the AOTS Framework is developed as an alternative approach to studying or working with African peoples by centering African oral storytelling, African philosophies and worldviews, languages, and cultures as relevant and essential to understanding the experiences of African peoples. The collaborative philosophical underpinnings of the AOTS Framework rest on the communal and the collaborators’ engagement in the study not just as people who provide information but as co-creators in the narratives, meanings, and understandings that are brought to bear.

“…Over the course of this year and throughout this thesis I have attempted to work, think, and write in accordance with my own cultural perspective, paying homage to The Bahamas, as well as the extended Caribbean and Caribbean diaspora. Authors like Fernández Santana et al (2019) acknowledge the necessity for Caribbean practices being accepted and utilized more accurately in research and academia. The result of this inclusion is a construction of knowledge that is consistent with the way Caribbean people think, live, and feel about affairs that concern us (Ahmed 2004;Anzaldúa 1999, 78).…”

If I Giya Soma Dis Ting You Ga Talk It: An Exploration of the Use of Bahamian Creole and Standard English by Young Bahamians

This thesis examines the use of Bahamian Creole and Standard English among educated young Bahamians. It explores the divide between formal Standard English and informal Bahamian Creole within the historical context of British colonization in The Bahamas. The study analyzes the relationship between these two language variations, tracing their development from childhood influenced by family to experiences abroad for university. It discusses how previous generations were shaped by colonial attitudes that devalued Bahamian Creole and elevated Standard English, leading to the ability to code switch between the two languages.Furthermore, the thesis explores how the university experience challenges these ingrained linguistic attitudes as students strive to assert their Bahamian identity within institutions that reward Standard English. It highlights the emergence of a double identity in different linguistic situations, revealing the reliance on oppressive structures through code switching. However, the thesis suggests that this is changing and explores how students actively resist these linguistic rules, seeking freedom and alternative ways of expression. Ultimately, this ethnography sheds light on the evolving linguistic landscape of young Bahamians, examining the complex interplay between language, identity, and resistance.
