Much of what is actually done by working interpreters fits well into a sociolinguistic system of understanding, namely a feminist-relational system. The goal of feminist-relational event management is to involve the actors as communication partners with opportunities for self-expression through the application of techniques which value listening, consensus building, cooperation, empowerment, social justice, and experience. Listening, consensus building, and cooperation are generally understood; this paper provides words that may help with defining empowerment, social justice, and experience. How these techniques impact an American-English®American Sign Language interpreter is illustrated in scenarios, given as examples.
