Event Details

Language and identity are intricately linked. Interpreters play a critical role in facilitating communication between a diverse population of individuals with varying linguistic and cultural backgrounds.

This workshop aims to delve into the fascinating intersection of interpreting and identity, acknowledging the profound impact it has on the lives of interpreters and those they serve.

We are not “just” interpreters. We are human. How we navigate our environments and make decisions is influenced by who we are and not simply a code of conduct. By examining the complexities of this intersection, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges, responsibilities, and opportunities that arise in the field of interpreting.

Educational Objectives:

Explain how individuals’ identities contribute to our language and the interpreting process.
Identify ethical dilemmas that interpreters with diverse identities may face.
Discuss strategies to empower interpreters with to be authentic while upholding professional ethics.
