Interpreting Inclusive Language – May 11, 2024
As interpreters we want to be sure each participant in the encounter feels recognized and respected. But what if we’re not sure how to interpret a term or concept to maintain that inclusive standard? In this live online training, Kelly Henriquez will dispel common misconceptions about inclusive language and identify how and why it’s used. From gender to race, sexuality, and ethnicity, this course will explore the many categories that fall under the umbrella of inclusive language. Learn how inclusive language works hand-in-hand with our ethical obligations as interpreters. Interpreting more inclusively is interpreting more effectively!
