Resource share: I made a baby experiment for my intro lingsters as a group activity that went over super well! It's based on a real paper that is accessible & brief. Fits in 1 hour. Nice for touching on pragmatics, psycholing, & reading scientific articles. Drive link below! :)

P.S., one thing that is clear from even a preliminary look at the interview data as that Deaf ASL instructors want guidance on disabled students' experiences; if you have suggestions for avenues you'd like for the findings of this research to be shared at, please do send my way!

super excited to have been selected for this award! the funding will be supporting my interview study with ASL instructors (already collected) and hearing disabled ASL students (to be collected) about the experience of disability in L2 ASL classrooms

day one of my fave conference at my fave place at my fave time of year (: please feel free to say hi! #BUCLD49

forever envying people whose legs are long enough that your laptops sit straight on your lap at conferences instead of sliding off

I am begging conferences to make pdf schedules

Reimbursement culture is used to ensure that you don't have too many of "the poors" getting access to graduate school or becoming professors. Reimbursement culture also banks on people giving up on the process and supplementing the bottom line of the institution.

3. And finally if you're looking for literature on the biases I just mentioned, the terms you want are: fat bias, anti-fat bias, weight bias, fatphobia, attractiveness bias, attractiveness halo. This recent study below being just one example: inderscienceonline.com/doi/abs/10.150…

2. Da'Shaun L. Harrison: "Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-fatness as Anti-Blackness" (also first-hand discussion of the relation of fatness and queerness)

Weight + attractiveness bias is rampant in academic spaces (as it is basically everywhere) and it goes unchecked.

@Linguischick Adam Schembri noted they used blue for this reason in the BSL corpus project-- which reminded me blue was also used for ASL-LEX! Seems to be the go-to :) But that was also done with a photography background, which may be an option if they really push for the grey wall?

@Shayterp Agreed! Good point!

The lab design team is telling me that a shade of grey is the best color for a wall that I intend to use as background. Specifically, the wall will serve as a background for naturalistic sign language video data recording. Thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions? #SignLanguageTwitter

This implementaiton of "aritculatory energy" (from Gökgöz, Keles, +Biligili) is super interesting to me. Really cool work! I'm thinking of what it could tell us about effort in articulation for signers with motor differences/limb differences/chronic pain 👀 #BUCLD

As I learn more about about disability in Palestinian, I have heard this idea repeatedly from Palestinians: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a western construct. There is no “post-trauma” for Palestinians.

Just learned they’re on Twitter— so wanted to S/O @parisgap for being awesome as always with the accessibility tech and accommodations at #BUCLD :) (as the conference always is in general too)

To this end, I'd really like to see more pragmatic inference work between autistic-autistic communication pairs

Autistic people are going to be used to not having the same conversational goals (implicit or explicit) as allistic people. They might not assume implicit cooperation bc they've learned to not even assume the same common ground and goals

Thought re: a talk on autism/pragmatics-- an attendee stated that certain pragmatic inferences are expected if the listener assumes the speaker is cooperative. But don't autistic folks have lots of reason to not expect "cooperative" interlocutors?
