In sign language technology development, co-creation is often framed as the gold standard to do research, but is it really? New preprint “Lessons in co-creation: the inconvenient truths of inclusive sign language technology development” https://t.co/HsUsTZKMCM @EUD_Brussels (1)
Hello! Did you know there are only 2 months left until the European elections? Those will be taking place on 6-9 June. We at EUD are very curious to find out if there are any deaf candidates running for election as MEP. Are you a candidate, or do you know someone? Let us know!
I am honoured to congratulate our deflympians on winning the overall team medal count at the Winter Games for the first time in Ukrainian history.
I thank them all for their determination to win, their ability to overcome difficulties, and the respect that their victories have earned for all Ukrainians.
Proud of our deflympians!

Ya está publicado mi primer artículo que he estado preparando mucho tiempo. No iba a ser sobre otro tema que la figura del intérprete sordo. En el artículo comparto las conclusiones de la (aún) profesionalización de esta figura en España. #interpretesordo
@Hear_No_Evil@mdemeulder Unfortunately, not really. Interpreter quality is an issue related to working conditions. Spanish interpreters often work under shockingly bad conditions. Most of those entities just look at the bottom line. It’s a whole mess over here.
