UTRID presents…
Rooted In Community: Deaf Centered Interpreting Through Connection And Collaboration
Workshop Description:
Interpreting is more than language. It is about connection, trust, and cultural understanding. In this workshop, a panel of Deaf and hard of hearing consumers will share their lived experiences working with interpreters in a variety of settings. Through conversation, participants will gain insight into what fosters effective collaboration and approaches to providing Deaf centered interpreting.
The UTRID theme this year, “Root Deep and Branch Out” invites interpreters to strengthen their foundational knowledge while expanding their skills and approaches to meet the diverse needs of the clients they serve. This session will encourage reflection on interpreter practices, cultural humility, and strategies for building authentic partnerships that support access and equity.
