Resumo

Since the first Critical Link Conference in Geneva Park, Canada in 1995, Public Service Interpreting and Translation (PSIT) has experienced a dramatic change in both theory and practice. An overview of the challenges and shifts in PSIT and of the influence of some disciplines and research may provide a better understanding of its evolution and trends in the early 21st century. Based on a review of topics discussed at both the Critical Link and FITISPos International Conferences between 1995 and 2016, research shows a certain evolution geared toward a much more multidisciplinary, realistic, and fuller understanding of the complexities of this discipline occurring within a specific socio-cultural moment in time.
