Unintended Bias of a Good Interpreter

Community of Practice

January 31, 10am- 1pm CT

.3 CEUs PS

$65

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.

Sonshine Interpreting values the development of both hearing and Deaf interpreters. For all workshops, presenters will select their primary communication language (e.g., English or ASL), and Sonshine will provide interpreters to ensure full inclusion. We represent a wide range of Christian denominations, centered on the tenets of the Nicene Creed. Opinions and views shared by presenters are their own and do not necessarily represent those of Sonshine Interpreting.
