Workshops

Deaf Interpreters, Teaming, and Real-Time Decision-Making

.15 CEU

(GS)

Deaf–hearing interpreter teaming is often described as collaborative, yet Deaf interpreters navigate decisions shaped by power, autonomy, and trust. This workshop centers Deaf interpreters as active decision-makers and uses real-world scenarios to examine how meaning is negotiated in practice. Participants will explore how their decisions shape interaction and develop strategies to evaluate and navigate teaming.
