I don't know if this has been posted already (I did try to check!), but I thought this video was very sweet. So, I wanted to share it.

Yeah, as I mentioned above, my interview in Starbucks did not go well!
I've also found with foreign languages/different modes of communication, I need quiet spaces without distractions--visual or auditory.
Thank you, Jiro! Your message was very positive, encouraging, and informative :)
All of your tips are useful! I will RELAX :lol:
#4 is especially important for researchers--we tend to make those verbose "NY Times style" questions. :roll:
I will also always keep #6 in mind. I once conducted...
Oh, that is quite unfortunate. Those views are so important. It is surprising to me that my literature review is so one-sided... Although I have read time and time again how "hearing people control deaf education".
I guess they control the discourse on it too... :(
Thank you for the open and honest feedback, Grummer! I appreciate where you are coming from.
I am certainly ready to be surprised, and I certainly have been already!
I have learned that there is not one way to be d/Deaf/Hoh or along the audiological spectrum. So, I suppose that is why I...
Hi there:wave:
As I've mentioned before, I'm conducting research on Deaf Culture(s) in a global context. A key part of my research is educational experiences of d/Deaf and hoh children.
I've found numerous books and documentaries written/created from the perspective of educators...
Thank you, Miss Lady :ty: I am not using interpreters at this point, but I know there will be a time when it is necessary. I will make sure not to let the interpreter voice everything first (I'm surprised the interviewer did that, doesn't he/she want the COMPLETE answer?!).
Any other advice...
Thank you for your reply! I'm sorry to hear that you had such a negative experience. It is unfair to make assumptions about someone and to refuse to LISTEN.
Assumptions... Sigh... It is not the same thing (at all), but I also hate when someone thinks that they know all about me because of...
Thank you for your feedback!:ty:
Right now my interviewees are people who don't use sign language, but you are definitely right that fluency is going to be very helpful. I enjoy studying foreign languages, so I'm excited to improve.
That's a good point about talking about myself, too...
We're both women, so I don't think they thought I was the father, lol :lol: I suppose I could have been the other mother, but I'm not that great with kids!
Personal reason: I have several Deaf friends, and I want to improve communication with them.
Academic/professional reason: My research is on "Deaf Culture(s)", and it seems quite clear to me that the only way to truly understand people is to speak their language.
Hope it's okay for a hearing person to share a story about an experience with a Deaf friend...
I was at a diner with a Deaf friend and her young son. It is important to note that I have light hair and blue eyes. My friend is Asian and her son shares her smile, nose, and her dark hair, dark...
