After many years, revisions, headaches, and rejections, and headaches with @DeafHistorian the original paper that started the Crip lx movement is finally published.

…ticalstudycommunicationdisability.org/index.php/jcsc… In this article we basically push back at some sacred ideologies in linguistics, SALT/SLP, education, whatever - the idea that language can be disordered.

In the old days, CODAs were used as interpreters all the time. And traded to other deaf families to be used as interpreters. Or even sold to other deaf families for interpreting.

You know what changed? Technologies. The law. The rise of assembly line interpreter training progs The modern deaf parents really aren’t that different from hearing parents in terms of raising children to be children. Granted there are still some awkward disability related stuff. But the lot of us aren’t raising interpreters. Especially not to keep our business afloat

One of the biggest problems in deaf focused research is that researchers blame children for failed interactions. As a result of their hearing loss, many
children with hearing impairment who use spoken
language experience communication failures in their
everyday interactions, whether as listeners in the perception of speech or as speakers if their speech is unintelligible (Most et al 2010)

My book with Charlotte Enns and Lynn McQuarrie will be out next weekend. To celebrate, I'd like to do a tweet thread in the style of @MobileDeaf focused on my chapter with @MrPR1981 and @rmbenedict Our chapter focused on the importance of supporting deaf scholarship. We had all been mentored by Dr. Hoffmeister who made it a point in his career to build pipelines for deaf scholarship. He recognized that research in deaf education, and linguistics required deaf lenses

It's been a few weeks since the Right Side ASL controversy. A lot of it has died down. It's been about a week since my last hate email/death threat. I feel comfortable doing a mini thread about things I learned, and things that I was reminded of 1. RID is not here to protect deaf consumers. RID is here to protect RID. It's not even here to protect interpreters. In clear CPC violations, RID did the brave thing of...saying nothing. A few people said that RID can't act without a complaint.
