    Interpretation

    The process of making sense of information, experiences, or expressions. Interpretation involves moving from what is observed or stated to what it means—a move that is never neutral or automatic.

    Key Questions

    • How might this be interpreted differently?
    • What assumptions guide my interpretation?
    • Is some knowledge less open to interpretation than others?
    • Can we interpret without our perspective shaping the result?
