Workshop Description:

Am I violating the Code of Ethics? Do these people understand each other?
Many interpreters find themselves in situations where they are unsure
whether their behavior is an ethical conflict, or cultural mediation. In
this seminar we will discuss the definition of cultural mediation and the
role of the interpreter as the cultural mediator.

We will look at the pros and cons of the dual role, and the appropriate way
to provide cultural information without violating our code of ethics. We
will discuss common situations that arise in our field and determine
appropriate ways to address cultural concerns in those settings. Finally,
we will review the Code of Ethics and open a discussion in which
interpreters have a safe environment to ask questions to their colleagues on
“what would you do?” For further assistance, contact AID Vice President
Sonja Smith at [email protected] or (512) 736-3407.
