Workshop description:  

It's critical for interpreters to understand that at times they will be requested to interpret in situations about which they may have internal conflicts. Deaf individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, asexual, or queer face numerous significant barriers in accessing education. Their academic experience is more challenging than they need to be if interpreters do not evaluate their own biases in regard to LGBTQIA+ issues in interpreting work, including respectful vocabulary.

CEU Hours:  .3  RID CEUs  

Minnesota Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf is an approved RID Certification Maintenance Program (CMP) sponsor for continuing education activities.

Sponsored by Regional Low Incidence Projects - Region 11
