What Did Responses to Puerto Rican Sign Language at the Super Bowl Reveal About the Misconceptions People Have About Sign Languages?

What Did Responses to Puerto Rican Sign Language at the Super Bowl Reveal About the Misconceptions People Have About Sign Languages?

In my last blog post, I briefly referenced the presence of Puerto Rican Sign Language (Lenguaje de Señas Puertorriqueño, LSPR) interpreters at the Super Bowl. At the time, my focus was on the broad…

Imagine being Irish and being anti immigration??? Make it make sense! How’s your uncle getting on there in Sydney? How’s your nephew doing in Dubai? I heard the American cousins were over for a visit last month?

Academia wasn’t built for deaf scholars—but what if it was? Our new paper uses #DrDeaf as an example of alignment in action: how deaf ways of knowing and teaching reconfigure academic space and becoming. With tensions, yes—but also with a distinct deaf rhythm. academic.oup.com/jdsde/advanc...

This is our rhythm: academic becoming and realignment in deaf space

Abstract. Deaf scholars have long worked at the margins of academic institutions not designed for them. Designated deaf academic spaces—where deaf ways of

How do hearing children of Deaf migrant parents experience their multilingual repertoires? @empacheco.bsky.social explains in the latest Language-on-the-Move post www.languageonthemove.com/children-of-...

Children of migrant Deaf adults

During my Master of Research (MRes) studies, whenever I met someone new, they would often enquire about what I was doing for my thesis. When I told them, I was doing research with hearing children …

No one needs to be told this, but in policing research there’s this thing called “cop culture” [see Robert Reiner] and part of it is a “thirst for action”. Police inherently want there to be riots and a chase because police work, for the most part, is extremely boring.

Written my first book review and what a book it was! "Life in a new language" by Ingrid Piller (@languageonthemove.bsky.social) & 5 other authors captured adult migrants' experiences moving to Australia. revistes.eapc.gencat.cat/index.php/rl...

Cannot believe it has already been a year since I successfully defended my PhD! A wonderful day full of memories I'll cherish for the rest of my life.

My Roman Empire is that Koko the gorilla never learned to sign and a conversation with one singular Deaf person would have saved a lot of time and a lot a shoddy research

I like telling authoritarians where to shove it in multiple languages

The US right is coming for disabled people. Here’s why that threatens everyone

Trump’s administration is dismantling disability rights and education. History has shown this can be a warning sign for all civil liberties

It's a time of morbid symptoms... Trump has exploited the war in Ukraine to plunder its resources for his own gain. Bending the knee to this man offers no real security—on a whim, he will sacrifice his so-called allies for profit. Irish politicians should boycott the White House.

Do you speak other languages at home? This will not hold your child back at school

Do you speak other languages at home? This will not hold your child back at school

It is common for parents to worry about raising a child to be multilingual. They may wonder, am I harming my child’s English if I speak another language at home?

So what about ASL, Spanish, indigenous languages, etc? Our languages are not “official”? What are the implications of this executive order?

On Nov. 7th, I told my sociolinguistics students this was going to happen. They did an activity on language policy and one of the lessons was that repressive regimes always try to criminalize languages that are not ideologically associated with nationalism. I’m sorry I was right.

BREAKING: President Trump expected to sign an executive order to make English the official U.S. language for the first time in history, according to a White House official. nbcnews.to/43gRPGH

Surreal to watch Trump and Vance so thoroughly humiliate themselves and give the rest of the world the final motivation they need to unite against the Putin surrogacy. It’s so shocking!

Donald Trump is not fit to be President of the United States of America. His presence in the Oval Office is a stain on the legacy of this country.

"You've gotta be more thankful" -- remarkable scenes out of the White House as Trump and JD Vance team up to do Putin's bidding and demean Zelenskyy

This made for a shocking watch... I'm speechless. Insults after insults, stroking his own ego, "Obama gave you sheets, I gave you javelins", "You did not once say thank you", "You're losing". youtu.be/MEv9WLPoa3I?...
