"Interpreting Politics: Primaries, Caucuses, Gerrymandering, and other words, I Hope I Don't have to Interpret" by Alek Lev
Offered Thursday, November 12, 2020 at 10:00 am - 2:00 pm MDT (9:00 am PDT, 10:00 am MDT, 11:00 am CDT, 12:00 pm EDT)
The Presidential campaign is upon us, and it brings with it democracy and democrats, the election and the electoral college, constituents, primaries, the commander-in-chief, and of course, gerrymandering. In short, the election presents unique interpreting challenges from the language of politics. This workshop is for interpreters who believe that if there are people willing to talk or teach about American politics, we should do a super-heroic job interpreting for them. This is a brief, but deep dive into elections, government, the constitution, ideology and parties, and presidential power. The goal of this workshop is to prepare interpreters for the challenging language that appears during the electoral process. But language doesn't exist in a vacuum, and in order to truly interpret for meaning, one requires a deep understand of the material. Strategic stopping points are planned throughout the session to support the development of interpreting strategies for difficult concepts.

Offered Tuesday, November 10, 2020 at 5:00 - 6:00 pm MDT (4:00 pm PDT, 5:00 pm MDT, 6:00 pm CDT, 7:00 pm EDT)
All of us experience times where we are off-balance, overstressed, or overwhelmed while interpreting and in our personal lives. If we are not careful, we may go days, weeks, or longer without realizing we are out of balance. Plus in the midst of a stressful period in our lives, we may not have the capacity to think about ways we can exercise self-care, be gentle with ourselves, or what it will take to get back into balance again. Having an individualized plan in place will help us notice the telltale signs of being overly stressed, or out of balance and identifies ways to make it through difficult times and get back to feeling like our "old self" again.

In this workshop we will explore implicit bias and promoting equity.

Participants will examine challenges and work on unlearning implicit bias, enabling them to adopt an equity-centered approach for serving individuals and communities from various racially, ethnically, and socioeconomically diverse backgrounds.
