Workshop Overview: This workshop will provide participants with an opportunity to
further develop ethical thinking and decision-making skills. Through lectures, guided
discussions and role-play scenarios, participants will analyze the ethical role of
interpreters in various common work settings including team interpreting, how the RID
Code of Professional Conduct should affect interpreters’ decision-making and how to
respond to conflicts with team members or consumers.
Target Audience: Working interpreters and interpreting students.
