The Humanity of Interpreting

Friday, March 27, 2026 | 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM Central U.S. Time

Event Description

This workshop brings a personal perspective of the power and privilege of language that comes with interpreting as an act. You will go through the workshop and grow up with the presenter through the lens of interpreting and how that affects the everyday Deaf person. You will be given space to ponder your own privilege and the privilege of those who you may meet, work with, or serve.

Educational Objectives

Participants will be able to:

  1. Discuss how power and privilege in the Deaf community are affected by interpreters’ presence.
  2. Identify interpreters’ position within the Deaf community with a greater understanding of their impact.
  3. Immerse themselves in the presenter’s stories to understand the real-life experiences the Deaf community has with interpreting.
