I’m making a thread on the various cultures throughout the US since there seems to be a lot of xenophobia and dismissal of bipoc groups in the US. Non Americans see us all as one white country with the same way of life or something and it’s annoying so … here we are (🧵):

You hate online conferences because

1. You hate conferences. The actual conference parts are boring.

And academics get away with boring conferences because people like the other stuff.

2. There's no travel, no having dinner with friends. Those are the parts of conferences you like.

The problem isn't, therefore, online conferences.

It's folks not putting in the work of creating actually fun and generative etc. events. This was never a priority for on-site events because you didn't have to care to sell tickets. But you need to do it online or else the whole thing is boring.

The problem isn't Zoom.

It's hosts who refuse to put in the work of learning how the platform works, and ensuring all participants have what they need for success, technology-wise.

The problem isn't that it's online.

It's that organizers don't build in ways to connect participants beyond formal sessions. They don't usually even think about non-presenters as participants at all, because there's not much meaningful participating for them to do. This is no fun and it's not inviting.

Online conferences are the future and we do actually have the tools to make them awesome. But it's going to take a lot more time and money (to pay for expert help) than most seem to want to spend.

With a heavy heart I'm announcing the release of my edited Special Issue of the American Annals of the Deaf on Vygotskian Perspectives in Deaf Education:

It includes an article by Jon Henner who died Monday and was, like Vygotsky, a fearless advocate.

Is there a research term developed yet for the co-occurrence of multiple disabilities in one person, and, specifically, one that discusses how disability 1 integrates or disintegrates with disability 2 (or 3...), or that obviates the synergy of co present disabilities?
