NAT: Queering T&I: A Conversation on Communication and LGBTIQ+ Lingo

EVENT CLOSED

This webinar will be conducted in Spanish

In this training module, we will explore language and communication, and we’ll go over some LGBTQIA+ terms to open the conversation on how language shapes the reality around us. We will also talk about the role of translators and interpreters, try to understand our own professional and personal biases, and develop strategies to provide a respectful and safe service to everyone.

Although this training is Spanish-specific, any industry stakeholder is more than welcome to join the debate so as to work collectively towards developing an empathic and compassionate understanding of the translation and interpreting services we provide.

Candela Malizia is a NAATI-certified EN-ES conference and community interpreter and specialised translator from Buenos Aires, Argentina, currently based on the Gold Coast. She holds a BA in Conference Interpreting and an MA in Specialised Translation (EN/FR>ES) as well as a diploma in Communication, Gender and Human Rights, where she created a podcast on what we say when we speak as her final project. Candela is passionate about interpreting, sociolinguistics, multiculturalism, and E&D, and she has completed a variety of courses on gender and communication that uplifted her professional practice. She enjoys breaking down complex concepts into straightforward messages, and she is always striving to leverage the production of knowledge from the Global South and to make a positive difference towards a more horizontal future.
