Please join IRID as we host Robyn Dean presenting The Tropes of Interpreting.
Do these phrases sound familiar: I stepped out of role… I’m a member of the team… The boundaries are flexible… It’s like I’m invisible…I decided to empower the deaf person…
These phrases are popular amongst interpreters – we say them to each other and we say them to ourselves. These phrases are all examples of tropes. The use of tropes has been shown to constrain thinking, mislead and confuse, and conflate dissimilar material. This presentation addresses where they came from, how they have come to endure in the field, and why they should be replaced.
Join us for this free workshop followed by an hour to enjoy lunch and socialize with other attendees (via Zoom) leading into our annual IRID business meeting!
This workshop is intended for working interpreters, ITP students, advocates & allies, and members of the Deaf community. This workshop will be taught at the beginning level and assumes that participants already have some knowledge of this topic.
