In this workshop interpreters will be challenged to reframe ethical decision making within a framework of values, morals, and ethical principles and will explore how each of these distinct concepts converge at moments requiring professional decision making and discretion. After construction, we will collaboratively utilize this framework to evaluate internal decision making processes, and create arguments in defense of professional decisions.
