Pleased to announce my first-ever paper has been published! Thanks to my mentors & coauthors @lieberman_amy, @jenniepyers, & @naomicaselli! Here's a quick summary thread: 🧵 Do parents modify child-directed signing to emphasize iconicity? frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

Just to say... "Hands washing" puts responsibility on the individual. "Cleaning the air" puts responsibility on public health officials.

Come see my poster at #CogSci2024 titled “Deaf signers allocate gaze based on type and familiarity of signed input”. I’m poster P3-EE-744 in the center of the hall :)

Beautiful moment when the rally, which had split in two columns, got a view of each-other.

No graduate student worker should be struggling to make ends meet when Boston University has a $3 billion endowment. These workers deserve a living wage and strong benefits. Boston University must bargain a fair contract immediately.

Boston is a union town and BU is a union campus. Together with adjunct professors and res life workers, we will make sure of it. #BUGWUonStrike

A pun that could only be in Canadian English (or at least not in American English): A restaurant near my apartment doing an all-you-can eat pasta dinner, calling it the "All Access Pass(ta)".

"When everything is mediated through an interpreter, it means the Deaf child does not experience education in the same way as the hearing students...in the end it’s a very isolated experience, socially, academically and intellectually for many Deaf students.” -Nigel Howard

What is visual accessibility, and why is it important? Nigel Howard (@UBCLinguistics) discusses Deaf culture, American Sign Language, and shares his perspective on being truly inclusive in higher education: ow.ly/TvHq50PKTI5

I don't think in terms of not catching Covid. I think in terms of reducing the risk of catching Covid, with the intention of catching it as few times as possible, and spreading it as little as possible.

Between the MBTA action and this one, we have won 4% more in raises *before* our first contract. BU knows that we are powerful, but we are only just getting started. We are heading to the bargaining table this summer ready to fight for a living wage and much more.

It’s important to acknowledge that asking how ASL impacts spoken English inherently privileges spoken English. This is not our intention. We thought this study was worthwhile because spoken language is often a consideration in decisions about what language(s) deaf kids learn.

New paper! “Learning a Sign Language does not Hinder Acquisition of a Spoken Language.” This study provides evidence that families with deaf children can pursue ASL without concern of negative impact on spoken English development. 🧵 pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/20…

Learning a Sign Language Does Not Hinder Acquisition of a Spoken Language

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine whether and how learning American Sign Language (ASL) is associated with spoken English skills...
