DESCRIPTION:

This interactive workshop is intended for interpreters aiming to develop their knowledge and skill related to ethical decision-making. Participants will explore approaches to thinking about ethics and decision-making in interpreting and be introduced to frameworks for effective, ethical decision-making. This workshop may interest aspiring and novice interpreters and to experienced interpreters who are not familiar with frameworks such as Role-Space and Demand-Control Schema. It assumes a basic awareness of core ethical tenets for interpreters. The workshop requires use of participants’ camera and microphone for interactive elements. Participants will be asked to complete approximately 2 hours of work between the two zoom sessions.
