Ideology and Conference Interpreting

Gao uses the case of conference interpreting at the Summer Davos Forum in China to systematically reveal the ways in which ideology and linguistic 're-engineering' can lead to discourse reconstruction.

Fei Gao is Associate Professor at Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications (China) and holds a PhD from the University of Leeds (UK). Her research interests straddle interpreting and translation studies and corpus-based critical discourse studies, in which she has published articles in refereed SSCI/A&HCI journals such as Perspectives, Interpreting, Meta, Critical Discourse Studies, Discourse & Communication, and in Routledge collections.
