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. Deaf Professional Artists Network video of children signing White Stripes "We're going to be friends" D-PAN ASL Music Video "We're Going To Be Friends" by...

5'8". I've always wanted to be a little shorter, so I can wear HIGH heels.

Adorable! I had a beagle dog growing up. They are adventurous and fun :)

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...

Thanks for the warm welcome! The diversity of the members on this board (background and interests) has really impressed me :)

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...

Hello all, As I mentioned in my introduction, I am a PhD student studying Deaf culture in a global context. For my research, I have begun conducting interviews with d/Deaf and HOH individuals to learn their stories. While I am still building my signing skills, I am beginning my interviews...

Does anyone have any advice on learning more than one sign language at the same time? (I am trying to learn BSL and ASL). I don't want to mix up signs, but I do want to learn both languages. I have studied more than one spoken foreign language, but this is my first go at sign languages. Thank...

Hello! Nice to meet you all:) Thank you for the warm welcomes. I'm still learning my way around this site...I guess I am a little behind with technology! I'm looking forward to chatting with you in the future!

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...
