Dan Robin: Master Talk
September 18, 2017 - 12:00pm to 1:30pm
A social entrepreneur's approach to reducing the unemployment rate for people with disabilities
How the role of social work can close the gap. Despite representing 20% of the population, the unemployment rate for people with disabilities (PWD) has gone virtually unchanged for 40 years, remaining at twice that when compared to people without disabilities. This talk will seek to understand where policies, systems, organizations, funding, and advocates have fallen short while highlighting the common denominators within models necessary for the next stage of evolution. The ability of social workers to maintain a duality, i.e. creating a culture of caring and service across both their clients and industry is imperative. Closing the gap requires social workers to build on their strengths by identifying and negotiating needs between 'supply' (PWD) and 'demand' (Industry).

Language Interpretation in Social Work Practice
September 22, 2017 - 8:30am to 2:00pm
This professional development workshop will help students and professional social workers learn and appreciate the role of language in social work practice. All social workers, monolingual and multilingual alike, perform the role of language interpreter (and/or translator) in practice. Ensuring diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) in practice calls for methods, philosophies, and tools that can allow us to build relationships across class, gender, immigration status, sexuality, language and race. Interpretation- facilitating communication across lines that might otherwise divide communities is essential to working towards our commitment to DE&I. Participants will learn methods and strategies for interpretation with special attention to the potential for power imbalances that influence the way in which communication is mediated through an interpreter.
