Her interdisciplinary curiosity and her commitment to the advancement of professional interpreting in social and community settings lead her to take on doctoral studies in public policy at the Institute for Government and Public Policy (IGOP) on the institutionalization of community interpreting. Alongside the writing of her dissertation, Sof\u00eda was one of the authors of the foundational textbook “The Community Interpreter: An International Textbook,” (2015) Culture and Language Press, Bancroft, M. et al (Eds). Within this team effort, Sof\u00eda identified the concept and coined the term \u201ccommunicative autonomy\u201d with an aim to enhance interpreting\u2019s key role in supporting communication rights, and with roots in the research work for her doctoral dissertation: Cross-Linguistic Communication and Public Policy: The Institutionalization of Community Interpreting (2016)<\/a>.
