Zwischenstationen / Inbetween
Zwischenstationen – Kommunikation mit geflüchteten Menschen nimmt Situationen in den Blick, in denen geflüchtete Menschen an verschiedenen Stationen ihrer Flucht in Kontakt mit anderen treten. Für das Verstehen und Verstandenwerden ist die Präsenz von Dolmetscherinnen und Dolmetschern dabei oft essenziell. Dieser Band vereint Stimmen aus der Praxis und solche aus Forschung und Lehre. Die persönlichen Erfahrungsberichte und wissenschaftlichen Beiträge beleuchten die Herausforderungen und Chancen der Kommunikation im humanitären Umfeld.

Das Buch richtet sich an Studierende, an Dolmetscherinnen und Dolmetscher, an Lehrende, Forschende und an alle, die einen Einblick in diese gesellschaftlich relevante Thematik gewinnen möchten.
