Some are seated in the front row while others stand behind them. Several people are wearing casual clothing, and a few wear matching T-shirts with the Dr Deaf logo.
Another week of deaf academic becoming ❤️ #DrDeaf

Thrilled to see the #drDeaf article I published with @mdemeulder.bsky.social @annelieskusters.bsky.social is now the fourth most read article in the journal after one day of publication! Join the crowd and read the open access article here: academic.oup.com/jdsde/advanc...
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...
We had our first Professor Deaf #drDeaf workshop with 22 Deaf mid/senior career academics having a dialogue across sessions on career stages, academic administration, running research centers, mentoring and more.
This week will be the first Professor Deaf workshop! This is a #DrDeaf event aimed at mid career academics. We will be a group of 22 deaf academics from 8 different countries. Excited about this new addition to the #DrDeaf offer!

My keynote presentation at #ICED2025 yesterday was about the critical importance of deaf academic spaces, presenting #DrDeaf as an example, and the values they entail for broader deaf educational environments.

The events run parallel and take place in Ål, Norway from 7-12 December 2025.
There will be joint lectures and activities between the two events, including our now infamous winter afternoon sauna and ice-bathing wellness activity!
(We pre-cut the hole in the ice, no worries! 🤣)

We have a Professor Deaf Workshop this October and a #drDeaf Winter Writing Retreat in December. Are there enough people considering or in PhD programs who would be interested in a PhD workshop?

The #DrDeaf team is thrilled to announce the first Professor Deaf workshop! This workshop is aimed at deaf academics post-PhD, working in a university/research setting. It will be held October 2-4, 2025 in Oslo, Norway. More information will follow. For now, if you’re interested: save the date!
Ah, I see the next #DrDeaf retreat is...next week. Whoops. Was meant to go to one that was canceled due to COVID and then lost track of the dates. 😂
@mdemeulder.bsky.social, @drjosephmurray.bsky.social, @annelieskusters.bsky.social have a great time - I'll try to catch the next one!
One video call and a few emails with a deaf PhD researcher who grew up without sign language spaces and deaf peers - and they will soon leave for a long stay at Gallaudet University. Deaf networks for the win! ❤️ #DrDeaf

One of #DrDeaf most valued features is having deaf teachers, something many participants experience for the first time. @drjosephmurray.bsky.social and I had the pleasure to work with a stellar teaching team this week. Thank you to Peter Hauser, Katie Rogers and @noraduggan.bsky.social <Dr/
What a great week! Nice to see #DrDeaf growing into a nurturing deaf academic community welcoming new signers of International Sign <Dr/ ❤️
Another amazing week at #DrDeaf writing and PhD workshops with 40+ participants from four continents
People felt empowered by the deaf networks and direct learning (without SL interpreters!) in International Sign.
