Brainstorming dialogue will examine various methods of balancing the power and providing insights regarding interpreting to effectively give power to the rightful owner
Participants will: learn about the various types of implicit and explicit discrimination experienced by POC, be involved in dialogue, leave with an enhanced sensitivity to various cultures and experiences and immediately applicable techniques to enhance their interpreting and interpersonal skills to provide optimal communication between Deaf and hearing consumers.
