I study how early exposure to sign language can benefit later language and cognitive development.

If you want to see more Deaf scholars at the forefront of scholarship on sign languages, donating to this fund is a great way to invest in making that happen. (Happy belated, @MarieCoppola68!)

@DLilloMartin @Linguischick Good to know! I’m perusing it tonight to see if any chapters might work for my course this fall - I’ll bear that in mind.

[Matt Hall @ASLresearch]

@DLilloMartin @Linguischick Are you using the Schembri & Lucas book?

[Matt Hall @ASLresearch]

#Psycholinguistics peeps: what are your favorite writing assignment prompts for undergrad essays? (Especially if your course is writing-intensive!)

[Matt Hall @ASLresearch]

Temple U. is looking for an adjunct to teach 2 sections of ASL 1 this fall, potentially continuing in spring. (Remotely, I presume!) Details here: https://t.co/irWTWWCo8s

Beautiful work! I hope this helps service provides understand that language is about so much more than "just" communication!

[Matt Hall @ASLresearch]

So, so happy for you, @ryanlepic!

My first solo published paper from the 2019 PAH! Writing Retreat with the support of the mentors. The article is titled Dinner table syndrome: A phenomenological study of deaf individuals' experiences with inaccessible communication. https://t.co/B3Zz4bG6JD

@jmhenner Hey, Jon - you're right: that would have been a perfect place to cite your 2018 paper, and I missed the opportunity: I'm sorry about that, and will try to do better next time.

What an honor to be in @acadeafic's top 3 articles of the past year, and in the company of such great scholars! Congrats to to all!

[Matt Hall @ASLresearch]

@jmhenner @KymPMeyer @jahochcam @nelsonlflores Individuals have, yes, and it's great! But what I'm hungry for is something that visualizes the distortion like the paper that Kym cited. Do you know of anything like that?

[Matt Hall @ASLresearch]

@KymPMeyer @jahochcam @jmhenner Can someone please do this for Hart & Risley (1995)??

Police can’t see I’m Deafblind. Frankly, many wouldn’t care. 30 to 50% of the lives extinguished by police were disabled black & brown people. If you believe #BlackDisabledLivesMatter, add your name to create a bold new solution #DefundThePolice https://t.co/DaLndsC0Ed

@jmhenner Not to mention 2 of them!

[Matt Hall @ASLresearch]

Anyone who wants to talk about the latest findings in gene-editing to prevent deafness (Yeh et al., 2020) must do so in light of C. Padden & J. Humphries (2020): "Who Goes First?"

@jmhenner Yup. (If by "kid" you mean doctorate-holding biotechnologist!)
