SUMMARY:Church Interpreting: The Who\, What\, How\, and Why
DESCRIPTION:Attend this webinar to learn about the growing field of church interpreting. You’ll leave with a better understanding of the opportunities and skill requirements and whether it’s a specialty you want to pursue!\nChurch interpreting is a strange and unknown practice to many professional interpreters.

It’s also a field of interpreting with its own challenges\, problems\, and even trauma exposure. \nThis webinar will cover the basics of church interpreting\, including why and where such work takes place\, the types of assignments covered\, and the skills and personal requirements needed to succeed. \nWe’ll also explore the similarities and differences between church interpreting\, conference interpreting\, and community interpreting\, with surprising results. \nYou will learn how to:\n\nPrepare for church interpreting assignments.\nCover a very wide range of meetings\, both inside and outside churches.\nMeet the varying needs of interpreters from different churches.\n\n  \nAbout the Presenter\nJonathan Downie is a consultant church interpreter and conference interpreter and interpreting researcher based in Edinburgh.

SUMMARY:Health Care Equity and Language Access in Indigenous Populations
DESCRIPTION:Explore the particularities of working with Indigenous Central American languages and the current realities that speakers of these languages face regarding equity in language access to health care.\nNavigating the American medical system is\, to say the least\, a headache—and that’s if you speak English! Now imagine having to do it in Spanish when that’s not your first language. California is home to a growing population of Mexican and Central American immigrants whose first language is not Spanish. In this webinar\, we will focus on the most commonly spoken Indigenous languages in the Bay Area\, how they differ from Spanish\, and why they cannot be called “dialects.” We will also look at the major cultural barriers that these immigrant populations face in navigating the American health care system. Translators and interpreters\, whether they work in the medical field or not\, serve as a bridge between languages and cultures. The reality of Indigenous language speakers is often misunderstood and worth learning more about. \nYou will learn how to:\n\nIdentify the main Mexican indigenous languages spoken in California\nUnderstand the major challenges faced by indigenous groups in the United States\nEducate health care providers and other stakeholders about the importance of using indigenous language professionals whenever possible.\n\nAbout the Presenter\nWilliam Giller received his M.A. from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey. He has worked as a freelance translator and conference interpreter and is currently the Digital Content Director for the Northern California Translators Association. William works as a senior interpreter and translator for English\, French\, Portuguese and Spanish at Stanford Medicine Children’s Health in Palo Alto\, California.

He has witnessed firsthand the linguistic and cultural challenges that immigrants from Mexico and Central America face when navigating the U.S. healthcare system.
