My focus for 2025 is to highlight when and where sociolinguistics needs to be infused into ASL/English interpreting. Ph.D completed, I'm now in my "watch me roar" phase.

Can we just acknowledge that the fall semester started, and we survived it? Hooray for us! Because the stress I put on myself to answer emails, attend meetings, create syllabi, develop the courses on Canvas, AND get all my clothes washed or in the cleaners was overwhelming.

If I might add to this statement, the concept of "speaking English" is not an option for deaf Americans. Including signed languages as part of the multilingualism of the country and the world should be part of the conversation also.

I'm confused, DOE. I read the letter. So America wasn't built on systemic racism? Or, to be or more specific, on the backs of and from the blood of American Indians and enslaved Africans (and subsequent generations of their offspring)?
