Language Justice Resources
Se Ve Se Escucha
Se Ve Se Escucha (Seen and Heard) is a podcast by the Center for Participatory Change about language justice and what it means to be an interpreter, an organizer and bilingual in the US South. Language justice is about interpretation and translation, but it's also about building meaningful relationships to organize and transform our communities. The Center for Participatory Change has brought you workshops, training videos, webinars, and a teaching curriculum, and is now excited to bring you a podcast about language justice in its many different forms: as cultural organizing, self-determination, racial justice and honoring languages in all the ways they are spoken. Join Ada and special guests from the US and global South, as they discuss what it means to be seen and heard.
The Language Justice Curriculum is a compilation of CPC's years of workshops, training, games, conversations, practice sessions, and ground interpreting. The curriculum is primarily aimed at interpreters and individuals interested in interpreting, looking to understand language justice or interpretation in a social justice context. Each chapter is a practice session, lasting about 1½ to 2 hours, and includes a welcome and warm-up, analysis, practice time, and a closing. CPC's work is based on popular education and values healing spaces, which is reflected in the curriculum as well. This toolkit is in English and includes examples in Spanish. Each session can be added, changed, or modified as per the individual's requirement. Check out the accompanying videos in our online Language Justice Interpreter Toolkit. The Language Justice Curriculum was made possible with support from the Fund for Democratic Communities.
