Sam Farley will review the topics presented by Wing around the origins of and roles on interpreters specifically the perceived focus and purpose by interpreters from the past to the present (30 Minutes). Facilitate table discussions to gain insight and perspective from local SCRID members around the topics raised from this discussion.
Session II: “Unpacking Power and Privilege” with Bob LoParo
During this past summer’s RID LEAD Together National Conference, participants gathered to evaluated and discuss RID as a whole organization, as well offer feedback and perspectives from the many different component stakeholders, members, and consumers within and without RID. This workshop will begin the dialogue of recognizing our own personal Power Characteristics, Unconscious & Conscious Privileges, and Micro-Aggressions that Elevate/Oppress and Approve/Invalidate others We will look at how layers of power and privilege exist and are perpetuated within the Interpreting Community. We will analyze how Power & Privilege are manifest and affect underprivileged individuals. Finally, at small table discussions, we will demonstrate our understanding of our relationships to power and privilege, which affect ITPs, RID, working Interpreters, and the Deaf Community.
Session III:“Leadership: Influencing Organizational Change” with Peggy Huber
Organizational change requires leadership to understand the origin of challenges and determine appropriate solutions. At times, challenges must be addressed with technical strategies, while at other times, adaptive solutions are called for to provide the understanding needed to take an organization to enduring solutions. Based on information shared by Heather Harker at the LEAD Together Conference, Peggy will describe the difference between “adaptive” and “technical” work and the ways these approaches affect change. Together, members will identify challenges SCRID faces and determine whether they can be solved applying technical or adaptive solutions, and discuss possible solutions for consideration.
Participants will:
Session I: “Discovering The Keys to a Purpose Driven Future” with Sam Farley
- Identify at least three important parties involved in the interpreting process
- Identify and prioritize at least three purposes of RID
