Honored to be mentioned alongside scholars I admire: @naomicaselli.bsky.social, Padden, Mayberry, Chen Pichler, and more! www.science.org/content/arti...

"Imperfect sounds: Cochlear implants give deaf kids unprecedented access to sound. But insisting they avoid using sign language may be risky."
Implants can help deaf kids hear—but many still struggle with spoken language
Some researchers worry about risks of devaluing sign language, overreliance on imperfect devices

Concerned #DAC2025 has interpreters on their website. Deaf Academic Conferences are interpreter-free spaces (aside from DeafBlind interpreters) that prioritize *direct* communication in IS.

In their bid, Houston claimed to support the DAC ethos. @bevjbuchanan.bsky.social can you clarify?

The core Dr Deaf team (@drjosephmurray.bsky.social and @annelieskusters.bsky.social ) are working on an academic paper about Dr Deaf. As part of this work, we are interviewing former participants and teachers about their experiences with Dr Deaf.

I love this quote: " Your life's project should be longer and larger than your lifespan."

What are you doing today, or this year, that will outlive you?

Oh and hey, these are were all talks by deaf academics - they were all very different, but all breaking new ground. Just like the great poster on grammatical description by Péter Romanek - proposing deaf community-led/collaborative reference grammar writing. I wish I was starting my career again.

In honor of #TISLR15 here’s a new #audistjerks post! Sign language linguist? Do pass over that deaf applicant to your PhD stipend in favor of a hearing new signer There’s always a reason a deaf person isn’t qualified 🤡and a hearing PhD can always learn to sign! Anyway, they don’t HAVE to sign well!

Working on a film on #audism and this has inspired me to inaugurate an #audistjerks series, case studies in how to be a fantastic audist.

Case study 1: My flight has been cancelled and I'm stuck in a 3 hour circle of AI chat hell. Can't call because of an #audistjerks principle:

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.
