Gender Differences & Interpreting

Professional Studies - 0.7 CEUs 

This workshop will establish a foundation covering conversational differences between women and men, including differences in how we do things with talk. Participants are asked to think about the ways in which they are hearing messages from both women and men. Portions of videotaped research will be shown and then participants will be given scenarios to discuss and propose interpretations. Key topics: ways of talking, women and men conversational styles, interpreting for women and men. Interpreters have to think about themselves as women or men and then think about the ways in which they are listening to women and men.

To obtain CEU credit, the mandatory activities will ask for you to answer some multiple-choice questions, evaluate some information, and examine some phrases through your lens of experience.

This workshop is presented in PSE/Contact Sign/ASL.
