Unintended Bias of a Good Interpreter

Community of Practice

We all strive to be ethical and accurate interpreters, but what if we carry biases we don’t intend or aren’t aware of? Inspired by Blindspot: Hidden Biases of Good People, this workshop explores how implicit bias is formed, how it functions in the brain, and how it can surface in interpreting decisions. We will examine the impact of bias on interpretation and learn practical, research-based strategies to recognize and mitigate unintended bias in our work.
