How can we be more effective interpreters with participants from cultures other than our own? Interpretation has both the opportunity and a responsibility to be more inclusive of all communities and to question dominant and privileged cultural perspectives. In this interactive virtual session, participants will examine privilege and bias as it pertains to interpretive planning and programming. Participants will reflect on individual and organizational practices and develop strategies for creating engaging and meaningful programming for diverse audiences.

• Reflect upon how personal values, biases and assumptions can impact the quality of programming that we create. 
• How to identify Bias in instructional materials. 
• Strategies for creating a culturally-responsive programming.
