  • Current FRID members.
  • All guests and friends who are not yet members of FRID.


Jeremy Quiroga, MFA, CDI has created an opportunity to look at how Deaf Space affects the interpreting setting. Deaf Space is a concept that the Deaf community has been looking at and here Jeremy brings that perspective to the interpreting field, which will surely provide an opportunity for interpreters to reignite their outlook. With these new tools, interpreters will be able to refine their skills to interact in interpreting settings and understand how it impacts Deaf Space.

In this workshop participants will:

  • be able to discuss Deaf Space,
  • recognize how the medical environment impacts Deaf Space and learn tools to address the demand, and 
  • be more aware of the power dynamics as a hearing interpreter.

This workshop is offered free to current FRID members; working interpreters, interpreting students, and interpreting instructors are also welcome to attend at a reduced cost. This Professional Studies program offers 0.3 CEUs at the SOME KNOWLEDGE content level. Deaf Space is presented in ASL. Sponsored by FRID; immediately following the 2020 FRID Annual Business Meeting. 

When: October 17, 2020, 1:00-4:00pm EDT (following the FRID Annual Business Meeting)
Location: Online via Zoom

CEUs Offered: 0.3 CEUs (PS)

Cost: Free for FRID members; $15 for non-members. Become a FRID member by visiting our membership page and filling out an application!


FAQ

What is the dress code? 

The dress code is Black-tie! Tuxedos and floor-length gowns! Don’t be afraid to wear COLOR or PATTERN- this is a night OFF! 

Can I bring my partner who doesn’t know ASL? 

YES. Please bring a plus-one to celebrate the evening with you! We plan for the night to be accessible to all. There will be lots of interpreters around if needed ;). 

What are we celebrating? 

YOU! Our organization has hit a milestone- 50 years; that’s half a century! We could not have made it without our members, who are also our leadership, our committee chairs, the people who read the emails we send out, the people who’ve kept the wheels turning all these years! 

Can a non-FRID member buy tickets?

Only FRID members can purchase tickets as this is a members-only event; but we do not expect your Plus-One to be a FRID member. 

Will there be dancing? 

Yes! We will have a D.J. Dancing and eating are basically the entire agenda. 

Will there be CEUs? 

NO! This is not a workshop. While networking is bound to happen with a room full of niche professionals, this night is about FUN. See last question ;). 

What should I bring? 

I.D. will be needed for check-in and cash/card for purchasing any alcoholic drinks from the cash bars.



For any necessary accommodation requests, please email pdc@fridcentral.org at least 14 days before the start time of the event.
