@MollyTallberg @clairebergey right, yeah I ended up connecting them via youtube. Embedding them directly as qualtrics media files gave me a lot of buffering issues (videos were short but I had a lot of them). Your RA says that hasn't helped though?

Prof Donna Jo Napoli asked me to share this: On 18 February 2022 at noon EST, the Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science will host the symposium "Sign language data empower new approaches to the study of cognitive architecture." (1)

no sphinx at pride...what if children were to solve their riddles, thereby rescuing thebes? children are not prepared to handle the subsequent infrastructure issues

Glad to know Italian Sign Language (LIS) has been finally recognised by the Italian parliament today! Heartiest congratulations to all concerned! A long way since we held the vigil outside the Italian embassy on 25th May 2011! Molte congratulations Comhghairdeas mór

Watching the accessible inauguration streams, and I'm blown away by how inclusive the event is. ASL, cued language transliterated, audio-described (which I'm tracking w/ Live Transcribe). The incoming admin so far has made a no-holds-barred commitment to #a11y. #CripTheVote

@DrJonathanRosa Thank you! I can't believe it took me so long to realize you were a fellow Swarthmore -> UChicago person :)

Let’s talk about an under-appreciated aspect of switching from live presentations to prerecorded videos at conferences: it is inherently unfair to deaf presenters who present using sign language. See, for a live presentation, you work with the live sign language interpreter. 1/

[Casey Ferrara @csmferrara]

Oh my god , the sign-language-glove folks are at it again

[Casey Ferrara @csmferrara]

Another upsetting (but not surprising) example of how oralism hurts deaf kids. This is not ok.
