INTERPRETERS UNITED
LOCAL 1671/AFCSME Council 28
proudly announces its Summer workshop
Ethics Workshop: Impartiality at any cost?
presented by Milena Calderari-Waldron
Our society has high expectations for professional interpreters. This workshop will explore interpreters’ imperative to be impartial and neutral as well as its parameters. Outline:
- Axiology: impartiality, neutrality, honesty & integrity
- Our all too human brain: heuristics, framing and cognitive dissonance reduction
- The temptation to advocate: cultural interference and tribalism
- I was just the interpreter: due obedience and the Nuremberg defense
- The Good Samaritan
