What Did Responses to Puerto Rican Sign Language at the Super Bowl Reveal About the Misconceptions People Have About Sign Languages? In my last blog post, I briefly referenced the presence of Puerto Rican Sign Language (Lenguaje de Señas Puertorriqueño, LSPR) interpreters at the Super Bowl. At the time, my focus was on the broad…

Imagine being Irish and being anti immigration??? Make it make sense! How’s your uncle getting on there in Sydney? How’s your nephew doing in Dubai? I heard the American cousins were over for a visit last month?

This is our rhythm: academic becoming and realignment in deaf space Abstract. Deaf scholars have long worked at the margins of academic institutions not designed for them. Designated deaf academic spaces—where deaf ways of

Academia wasn’t built for deaf scholars—but what if it was? Our new paper uses #DrDeaf as an example of alignment in action: how deaf ways of knowing and teaching reconfigure academic space and becoming. With tensions, yes—but also with a distinct deaf rhythm. academic.oup.com/jdsde/advanc...

I noticed that too! Seems like they may not see the r-slur as that offensive to censor the word? 😣

It was an absolute privilege having Dr. Octavian Robinson @deafkilljoy.bsky.social come to our department to give a presentation on Crip Linguistics. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Looking forward to reading many more of his works soon to come 🔥

Children of migrant Deaf adults During my Master of Research (MRes) studies, whenever I met someone new, they would often enquire about what I was doing for my thesis. When I told them, I was doing research with hearing children …

How do hearing children of Deaf migrant parents experience their multilingual repertoires?

No one needs to be told this, but in policing research there’s this thing called “cop culture” [see Robert Reiner] and part of it is a “thirst for action”. Police inherently want there to be riots and a chase because police work, for the most part, is extremely boring.

...data sharing. This makes it wildly difficult to even think about opening up my ethnographic data for other researchers to access. I'd love to hear other opinions here on BlueSky on the feasibility of sharing ethnographic data, or making it open access, particuarly video data.

Governments love numbers, less interested in qualitative/ethnographic data but the latter are more likely to capture the small details that can have major impact or consequences. They make a valid point in that. For me, as a researcher based in Sweden with its (may I say) crazy restrictions on...

The book focused specifically on their experiences of languaging in everyday life, capturing the ups and downs of language learning, as well as attitudes toward various linguistic repertoires. The authors emphasised the importance of sharing ethnographic data, as to strengthen the numbers.

Written my first book review and what a book it was! "Life in a new language" by Ingrid Piller (@languageonthemove.bsky.social) & 5 other authors captured adult migrants' experiences moving to Australia.

Cannot believe it has already been a year since I successfully defended my PhD! A wonderful day full of memories I'll cherish for the rest of my life.

The link is not working for me 🤔

It's quite jarring to watch. Surprised that it's already being used by the NHS but then again, should I be?

A comic strip by Adam Ellis of a man with a MAGA hat shaking hands with a gay man holding a picket that says "Gays agains drag queens". The MAGA man said "We did it! We finally outlawed all the trans people and drag queens! Thanks for your help!", the gay man said "happy to be of service! So, who are we going after next?". The MAGA man has a grin. The gay man asked "I said who's next?". The MAGA man keeps the same grin on. The gay man with a sudden realisation on his face says "Who...". The MAGA man still have the same grin on.

This comic by @adamtots.bsky.social made a while back cannot be more relevant than ever.

We were actually just talking about this today that it doesn't seem to be safe for travel to the US for DAC. I wasn't planning on going since I have a wedding to attend but now I'm glad I don't have to make that decision on whether I should go or not. It's scary what's happening in the US.

I'll be presenting at the conference. Hoping to see some familiar faces there!

Brilliant news, congratulations! Seems like a very interesting topic 🎉
