Workshop Description:
This workshop will provide an overview of the history of deaf interpreting and the theoretical applications of why we need deaf interpreters in the field of interpreting. The workshop will introduce students, interpreters, and deaf participants to the process of deaf and hearing (DI/HI) team interpreting, discuss the ethical implications for having or not having deaf interpreters, and apply practical knowledge of DI/HI teams. Participants will discuss ethical scenarios and have hands on opportunities to experience teaming and working with deaf interpreters.
Open to Interpreters, students of interpreting, teachers of the deaf and interpreters, and the deaf community.
