Many thanks to @jahochcam for mobilizing us to respond to shoddy research on deaf peoples. Today, let's highlight the good researchers doing important (and solid!) work on deaf communities and sign languages. And who better to highlight today than Dr. Hochgesang?
Dr. Hochgesang has done so many interesting things! If you've seen @jahochcam present, you know she does amazingly informative and wonderfully visual presentations. Luckily for us, some of her presentations are available via video here juliehochgesang.com/?page_id=930
And @jahochcam has an exciting range of research topics on sign language documentation, sign language corpus creation, and methodological and ethical questions in sign language research. Check out her research here: juliehochgesang.com/?page_id=557 #SignLanguages
My colleagues and students at @GallaudetU praise Dr. Hochgesang's work as a teacher and mentor as well! So here's a 🙌🙌🙌to one of the many people who do it right when researching deaf communities and their sign languages!-@jahochcam #DeafAcademics #DeafStrong
