Hello! New Member Here
Hello, I've been reading the interesting posts on this blog for over a year, and I decided it was time to join
 I am a PhD student in the UK studying Deaf culture in a global perspective. I am hearing, but I have mild hearing loss, which makes it difficult for me to communicate on the phone and in crowded places. I want to say that I am not here to "use" members for my research or to complete some homework assignment (PhD students no longer have homework!). Interviews and surveys happen offline with participants that I have been introduced to through social and academic networks. I am here to get a glimpse into Deaf culture in different societies. However, because I work with and interview deaf and hard of hearing individuals, I would like to ask for advice from time to time on social norms and ways to be sensitive regarding communication methods. |

 I think you will find if you participate in the forums any questions you might have will be happily answered. It is the people who join purely for a survey or some homework that really annoys people. So join in and you will meet some nice people, maybe make some friends but mainly learn about the deaf culture.
