Applying Social Identity Theories and Gendered Discourse Features to the Interpreting Process
Date: May 22, 2010
Time: 8:30 AM Registration
9:00 AM – 4:30 PM Event
Lunch 12p – 1p (on own) _________________________________________________
Location: Riverside Community College
4800 Magnolia Ave
Riverside CA, 92506
ROOM: Quad 229
Presenter: Diana MacDougall
CEUs: 0.65
Contacts: Michael Klyn
Diana E. MacDougall is Associate Professor at Riverside Community College, Coordinator of the ASL/Interpreter Preparation Program, and currently the Department Chair of World Languages. She holds a BA degree in Anthropology and Women’s Studies, and a MA degree in Sociology, both from the University of California at Riverside. Her research focuses on a social constructionist approach to the intersectionalities of race, class and gender expectations performed through speech acts and how such socially constructed discourse plays out in the ASL-to-English interpreting process. She teaches in the Anthropology and Sociology departments of her college, as well as teaching ASL/English Interpreting. Diana has been interpreting for almost 30 years as a professional ASL/English interpreter, and holds the RID CI and CT certifications.
Educational Objectives:
At the end of this workshop, participants should be able to
1. Identity various social identity theories
2. Recognize a generalized understanding of their own social identity(ies)
3. Demonstrate an understanding of various gendered discourse features in English
4. Demonstrate skill in incorporating 1 to 2 gendered discourse considerations in their sign-to-voice interpreting practices
Workshop Description:
This workshop will introduce current social identity theories and specific gendered discourse features. From this body of knowledge, practical application of specific gendered discourse features will be demonstrated and explored in small group voiced interpreting exercises to begin to understand from a practitioner’s perspective on how to incorporate such sociological theories into our daily interpreting tasks to bring about a more equitable communicative experience for all stakeholders involved.
