Say their name, say their name: non-binary, trans, and queer communities in translation

As non-binary, trans, and queer people become more visible both in the media and in daily life, we become more likely of having to translate or interpret for members these communities—or even of meeting one in our personal lives.

The speaker will introduce terminology, review the necessity for proper translation and interpretation beyond “the norm,” and present different approaches to documentation in different languages.

During the webinar, you will earn how to approach non-binary, trans, and queer language in translation and gain a basic understanding of non-binary, trans, and queer identities.
