She is also the author of Re-visiting the Role of the Interpreter: a study of conference, court and medical interpreters in Canada, Mexico and the United States published by John Benjamis in the Translation and Interpreting Library, which is the first attempt to quantitatively measure the perceptions that interpreters have about their role in the various settings where they work.
