Come and explore dynamics of power and privilege, how they influence our thoughts, and how those same dynamics impact our interactions with hearing and Deaf consumers!

Participants will examine their own experiences to see how we may be both a part of the problem and a potential part of the solution. Personal power and privilege will be applied to professional practice in discussions about the role of the interpreter as advocate and as ally. Participants will also discuss the fine line that separates advocating and contributing to oppression

At the close of the workshop, each participant will develop and discuss specific action items to incorporate into their professional practice.
