Our PhD student Aurélia Nana Gassa Gonga has a growing presence on social media as "La tête froide" addressing many public misconceptions re: deaf people and sign languages. Now with English subtitles! youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Congratulations, Maya!

Today the First Chamber (Senate) of the Netherlands voted unanimously for legal recognition of NGT (Sign Language of the Netherlands). It’s been a long time coming, after thirty years of lobbying by the Dutch deaf community. Gefeliciteerd / congratulations!

@jahochcam @c_borstell It was epic.

Volgens hoogleraar Gebarentaal Onno Crasborn (@signrr), is het een absolute mijlpaal dat in augustus de Initiatiefwet Erkenning Nederlandse Gebarentaal besproken wordt door de Tweede Kamer. Toch lopen we nog behoorlijk achter t.o.v. Brazilië of Amerika: bit.ly/2D7u1ev.

Dankzij gebarentolk Irma Sluis staat gebarentaal vol in de belangstelling. Toch is er nog een flinke weg te gaan als het om dovenemancipatie gaat, zeggen gebarentaalhoogleraar Onno Crasborn (@signrr) en zijn promovenda Tashi Bradford (@TeviTweets). voxweb.nl/nieuws/ik-hoop…

Ondanks dat gebarentaal al in veel landen als officiële taal erkend wordt, is dit in Nederland nog niet het geval. Verschillende experts op het gebied van (gebaren)taal, waaronder @signrr, @ozyurek_a en @TomUittenbogert, pleiten voor erkenning: bit.ly/2XmzndA.

Due to the ongoing health crisis, SIGN10 has been postponed to next year: 9-10 August 2021. We look forward to welcoming you to Nijmegen then! Be well. Ru.nl/sign-lang/even…

De gebarentolk is in tijden van #corona onmisbaar voor doven en slechthorenden. Irma Sluis is de tolk die Nederland voorziet van gebaren in de #coronacrisis. Met pedagoog Corrie Tijsseling benadrukt ze het belang van de tolk. Meer info: op1npo.nl
