Event Details
Join me for a transformative workshop designed for ASL interpreters, both professionals and advanced ASL interpreter students, as we explore the profound impact of Deaf ideology on interpreter-customer relationships. Through interactive discussions and experiential activities, participants will gain a deeper understanding of Deafhood, navigate dynamic interpreting scenarios, promote social justice within the profession, and enhance their customer service skills to better meet the diverse needs of Deaf individuals. Don’t miss this opportunity to expand your horizons and elevate your understanding of Deaf culture, aiming to develop and maintain strong, respectful relationships with deaf consumers during interpreting assignments.
Educational Objectives:
- Analyze the social justice framework and apply it to recognize social identity between Deaf and hearing individuals.
- Understand pathological ideologies regarding Deafness and phonocentric perspectives, and propose alternative viewpoints that celebrate the Deaf community as a culturo-linguistic community.
- Demonstrate practical strategies for fostering positive interactions, addressing diverse needs, and enhancing communication experiences for Deaf individuals within various contexts.
- Evaluate personal biases and assumptions regarding Deafness and hearing privilege, and develop strategies to reframe mindsets to promote inclusivity and social justice.
- Examine the intersectionality of Deafness with other social justice issues and formulate strategies for advocating for systemic change and equity within professional settings.
