Research on Interpreter & Translator Education
(RITE Lab) 

As NTID's first research lab dedicated to interpreter education, our mission is to conduct socially conscious research that advances the field of signed language interpreter education. We investigate key areas such as student and faculty development, teaching materials, curriculum design, assessment, and historical perspectives. Our goal is to enhance educational practices, promote inclusivity, and deepen understanding of interpreter education and its impact on the field.

The RITE Lab Think Tank takes an innovative approach to interpreting research by actively collaborating with and involving NTID ASLIE students in inquisitive research-focused discourse. The aim of the Think Tank is to encourage students to actively engage in research while simultaneously stimulating further investigation in the field of signed language interpreter education.
