A growing body of research about translation between written and signed languages, specifically as performed by Deaf translators, has raised questions about the Deaf individuals who perform this work. What, if any, unique perspectives do Deaf bilinguals bring to the work of translation? How have the personal and professional experiences of Deaf individuals influenced their development as translators? How do their experiences within a dominant English-speaking society impact the linguistic decisions made by Deaf translators? To address these and other questions, I investigated four key societal elements - social, educational, political, and cultural - in relation to the work of Deaf translators. Drawing on Mertova and Webster's (2009) construct of criticalevent narratives, I conducted a series of in-depth, semi-structured interviews with six Deaf translators to collect seminal moments in their lives as they relate to their work as translators. I employed Braun and Clarke's (2006) phase-step method of thematic analysis to examine the video recorded interviews for patterns and shared themes among the participants. Applying frameworks of social constructionism, feminism, and Deaf Studies to the critical events that emerged in the data, I found that the identities of the Deaf translators were constructed and shaped by their experiences in societal systems. This qualitative study provides, for the first time, a rich description of individuals who, over time, constructed their identities as Deaf individuals performing translation work. The results position translation by Deaf bilinguals within the field of Translation Studies, with the larger aim of better understanding the identity of Deaf translators. Critically, the study brings Deaf voices into the conversation about translation.
