Upcoming Events
- Sun, May 23ZoomThe use of critical interrogatory frameworks challenges us to look at our ethical decisions using critical lenses. This profession is saturated with whiteness and “hearingness” making it difficult for us to see the potential harm of our ethical decisions to marginalized individuals and parties.
- Thu, Jun 10ZoomQuality ethical decision making is an acquired skill. We propose that it occurs over time in an environment that we refer to this space as brave space.
- Sat, Jun 19ZoomThis workshop is designed to provide transparency for candidates who plan to take the entry level BEI evaluation. This is NOT a skill building workshop.
- Thu, Jun 24ZoomThe interpreting profession is struggling to establish common practices and it is even more difficult to encourage practitioners to adopt such practices.
- Thu, Jul 08ZoomThis workshop will address the right versus right dilemma in light of our role and responsibilities and where the Code of Professional Conduct fits in our decision-making process.
- Sat, Jul 10ZoomThis workshop will take participants on an adventure through etymologies of American Sign Language. As practitioners we present arbitrary rules of ASL as we use them and seem to know them but do we really KNOW them? Join us as Buck begins to describe ASL's rich history.
- Thu, Jul 22ZoomThis workshop will address the antiquated values of neutrality, invisibility, secrecy and the overemphasis on role continue to influence practitioners, both new and old alike – what do we do about it?
- Sat, Jul 31ZoomProviding a Spoken English interpretation for a Deaf presenter has some unique challenges. Research shows that uninitiated (hearing) people do not attach the same meaning to terms that we have come to use so freely when we are interpreting.
- Sat, Sep 11ZoomInterpreter Boot Camp is about working hard and eliminating fears. This workshop is designed with a scaffolding approach; starting from basic finger spelling activities and continues with interactive activities including showing rather than telling, voicing when there are no signs, and more.
