Pioneering The Field Of Deaf Women’S Studies, Genie Gertz, Arlene B. Kelly, Vicki Hurwitz
Society for American Sign Language Journal
This article is written by three Deaf women-scholars who pioneered Deaf Women’s Studies (DWS) about thirty plus years ago: the discipline arose from the need to explore the Deaf female experience (Kelly, 2016). Then, the 1990’s was when the DWS coursework was first developed and offered in American academia. To gain a greater understanding for DWS, the article begins by reviewing the emergence of both Black Studies and Women’s Studies as academic fields and how these were the impetus for DWS. A discussion about the Deaf women’s experiences during different periods of American history is given in detail. A brief …

The Deaf communities in particular will benefit from learning about the Indigenous Women. The article begins with the discussion on issues pertaining to Indigenous Deaf people. This is followed with three parts, the first covering the organization that Indigenous women created. The second covers a review of tribal signs with special attention to their cultural relevance. The third part pays tribute to Indigenous women who have done their part as …

The creation of a permanent museum at Gallaudet University in 2007 constitutes a historic milestone in the Deaf community, showcasing Deaf people by understanding and embracing their diversity and differences. As with the larger society, the Deaf community has its share of people of color and those with additional disabilities. This article will show there are lessons to be learned on realizing and achieving a more inclusive exhibit. Subject to discussion is the exhibition on Deaf women that was found both impactful and challenging at the same time. It was in 2015 that an exhibition entitled Deaf HERstory was first …

Sticking Up For Sign Language: Historical Deaf Women In Action, Kathy Jankowski
Society for American Sign Language Journal
The attention to deaf women during an important part of United States history when oralism dominated the education of deaf children is sparse. This motivated the research undertaken for this paper questioning what role deaf women played and the strategies they adopted to promote deaf children’s sign language rights. A review of historical documents indicates that there are a number of deaf women who fought along with the rest of the deaf community against the oral only movement in the instruction of deaf children during the late nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century. A number of recurring …

Gaining Insights Into Signed Music Through Performers, Pamela E. Witcher, Jody Cripps, Hodan Youssouf
Society for American Sign Language Journal
Signed music is best described as an inter-performative art form that combines lyrical and non-lyrical musical performances and is deeply rooted in the culture of deaf people who communicate through signed language (J. H. Cripps & Lyonblum, 2017; J. H. Cripps et al., in press [a]). The key investigative component for this article includes outlining the experiences that three Canadian performers had about their signed music creativity during a plenary at the Partition/Ensemble 2020 Conference held by the Canadian Association for Theatre Research in Montreal, Quebec. The panelists responded to two questions that they developed for themselves: What inspired us …

Time To Heal: A Critical Analysis Of American Sign Language Interpreters' Occupational Culture In The United States, Sarah Comerford
Graduate Theses, Action Research Projects, and Professional Projects
Horizontal violence, otherwise known as mobbing, lateral aggression, or bullying (Browne & Smith 2008; Dellasega, 2007; Heim & Murphy, 2001) has been previously documented in the field of sign language interpreting as well as in other human services professions such as nursing and teaching (Ott, 2012). Interpersonal workplace hostility can have devastating personal and professional consequences regardless of the field of practice, particularly when attacks are repeated and severe (Leymann & Gustafsson, 1996, as cited in Browne & Smith, 2008).
In addition to the long-term effects of horizontal violence, a study by Hewlett (2013) found that negative interactions between interpreters …

Graduate Theses, Action Research Projects, and Professional Projects
Sign language interpreters are becoming more accustomed to acts of horizontal violence (HV). Research shows the magnitude of the problem in other fields, such as nursing, midwifery, and educational settings. However, little research was available with respect to sign language interpreters. This study investigated sign language interpreters' understanding of HV and emotional intelligence (EI) while determining the differences between feedback, critiquing, and criticism through participants' perspectives. The participants were from varied backgrounds and levels of knowledge, skills, and abilities. In addition, the research assessed how interpreters perceived the terminology presented. The research also investigated participants' experiences with HV as a …

A Picture Worth A Thousand Words: Factors Influencing Disability Accommodations, Alicia E. Martin
Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects
Because not all disabilities look the same it is difficult to label a person with disabilities just by looking at them. Given that our knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions impact how we interpret our world and our willingness to act, people, including professors, may be biased toward providing accommodations for those with easily recognizable disabilities and biased against those with non-recognizable disabilities, and this may impact the disabled person’s ability to learn. This thesis aims to address whether professors’ disability-related attitudes, perceptions of accommodation reasonableness, and willingness to provide accommodations differ when the disability is recognizable (student is pictured in a …

American Sign Language (Asl): Linguistically And Cognitively - Why Deaf People Should Learn Asl & Learn It Early, Helena Isabel Berczes
Undergraduate Honors Theses
This thesis presents data supporting the value of including American Sign Language (ASL) in the education of Deaf people. Historically, Deaf education has not fully included or has excluded ASL in an effort to focus on English due to a belief that ASL hinders learning English. ASL must fit within the definition of language with unique linguistic features for its inclusion in language education. Plasticity of the brain lends itself to the ability for language processing networks to form based on language experience. Deaf people can fully access visual language versus auditory language. Therefore, acquiring ASL early in life, during …
Not-So-Deliberate, Deliberate Practice: A Contextual Framework For A Part-Time Interpreter,

Not-So-Deliberate, Deliberate Practice: A Contextual Framework For A Part-Time Interpreter, Shacarol Stewart
Graduate Theses, Action Research Projects, and Professional Projects
As a part-time interpreter without abundant opportunities for skill development, deliberate practice is essential, yet can be difficult to attain. Several key themes are revealed in this research of a part-time interpreter’s deliberate practice while considering the role of the inner expert (Reeves, 2014). Using this perspective, deliberate practice is approached by considering the contextual factors surrounding an individual’s engagement in a practice profession. Personal factors influencing a practitioner’s feasibility in engaging in deliberate practice are considered. Findings show the need to be flexible when implementing deliberate practice and to follow one’s own context prior to applying prescribed definitions of …

Graduate Theses, Action Research Projects, and Professional Projects
This action research project investigates how practicing self-care impacts well-being and emotional intelligence for me personally, as a working interpreter, and as a signing instructional assistant. Tools used to collect data were a modified Well-Being Survey (The KIDSCREEN Group, 2004), an Emotional Intelligence Test (Daniel, 2000), and the Junto Emotion Wheel (Chadha, 2022). Data was collected and analyzed for eleven weeks from May to July. This research was conducted to see what kind of impact self-care would have on my well-being and emotional intelligence. The goal was to see how taking care of myself could improve my mood and well-being, …
