As interpreters, we are usually the only ones in the room who understand what everyone else is saying. Often times, our Hearing and Deaf clients have very different world views and we feel stuck in the middle. How do we successfully voice or sign the intended message in a way that makes cultural sense to our clients and how do we keep from allowing our own cultural biases from impeding their understanding? Come learn with this unique mother-daughter team as we discover strategies for cultural bridge-building! Presented in sign language
Presenters: Rene’ Ryan and Kena Lundy
“Say What?” Often, as interpreters, we focus upon sign expansion since that isn’t the native language for most of us. However, the words we select can make a difference in how our deaf consumer is viewed in the hearing world. Are we doing all we can to reduce barriers and misconceptions… or are we oppressing and limiting them based upon OUR OWN limitations? This workshop will focus on expanding interpreters’ vocabulary so we can do the most professional job possible.
Silent dinners are THE place to come and practice sign language in a non-threatening environment. All levels of skill are welcome from very beginning learners to native signers.
Where? The Woodland Hill's Mall Food Court is the standard location of Silent Dinner. The mall's address is at 7021 S Memorial Dr in Tulsa. This is the NE corner of 71st and Memorial. There are various food vendors to choose from; however, food purchase is not a requirement.
When? Come after work as it begins around 6:00pm. Feel free to stary until your hands get tired or until the mall closes at 9:00pm.
Event is hosted by TSHA
