@eflump @dominic_sensei For a while, American Sign Language was used in a lot of contact situations, especially academic conferences- although definitely only by some people. Nowadays, International Sign is increasingly used, in non-academic and academic contexts. https://t.co/9r2U9FLCTz

The @WFDeaf_org video message eloquently describes the importance of inalienable linguistic #HumanRights for deaf citizens in the world - in terms of expression of #freedom, #justice and #dignity. We need to ensure that these basic rights can be exercised without any constraints.

We're putting together the research section of the Sign Language Studies Fall 2022 issue! If you know of any sign language-related dissertations or theses that were completed and successfully defended in the past year (late spring 2021-on)
