WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

We live in a world heavily influenced by either/or, us or them, and Deaf or hearing thinking. In the context of sign language interpretation, this binary mind-set often excludes situational and socio-cultural considerations, including power and privilege, that impact interpreting outcomes. To address this critical shortcoming and identify potential solutions, the presenter will facilitate a conversation that explores and challenges a variety of assumptions, models, values and standard methods shared by interpreting professionals, interpreting educators, and interpreting agency representatives.

After this workshop, participants will:

• Recognize a minimum of three ways that binary thinking may impact various elements of the interpreting process.
• Utilize a minimum of three strategies to mitigate the impact of binary thinking.
• Identify a minimum of two opportunities to leverage the benefits of spectrum thinking as it pertains to interpreting.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

While members of the Deaf community undoubtedly benefit from having access to sign language interpreters, the provision of interpreting services does not always address the overarching needs of this community. As this is often the result of Deaf and hard of hearing individuals being inadvertently marginalized and underrepresented in the creation of the very “accessible experiences” that they have to navigate, the presenter will discuss steps interpreters, interpreter educators and agencies can take to position the Deaf community in the driver seat of creating experiences that satisfy their wants and needs.

After this workshop, participants will:

• Recognize a minimum of three elements that are necessary to be better conductors between the Deaf community and other pertinent stakeholders.
• Identify a minimum of three disparate impacts of further marginalizing the Deaf community during conversations about creating accessible environments;
• Utilize a minimum of three strategies to strengthen relationships with the Deaf community they serve and work with.
