Taz Hockaday

I have received a great Christmas present ... My first journal article has been published in Interpreting and Society! It is a rewrite of my MSc dissertation on how hearing people feel about working with sign language interpreters in the workplace. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/27…

Our #ReframeResetRefresh sessions are now in full swing! Taz Hockaday presents her findings from her MSc research @qmuesli into the perspectives of hearing people who encounter #Deaf people in the workplace as their colleagues, employees or managers. #ASLIConference2024

I am seeking lecturers working in higher education who have experience of having a deaf student and a sign language interpreter in their classroom to participate in my study below. If you are interested, please DM me and I will send you more information. Reposts appreciated 🙂

@qmuesli @Lindaduncan_ @interppathways @ASLIuk @VLP_TerpTweets @efsli @WASLI_tweets @cisli_ireland Yay! Well done to you both! x

Many congratulations to our two MSc graduates today - @Lindaduncan_ and Sarah Haynes from @interppathways who both graduated with distinction and managed to experience a bit of Edinburgh sunshine too! It's been a pleasure having you both on board 🥳

Who's gonna tell him? 😂

@EM_RESUS You shouldn't teach your deaf baby sign language because they won't speak. 🙄

What’s a medical myth that you’ve seen perpetuated over the years? I’ll start: If your nose is bleeding, you should tilt your head backward.

@paulbelmontesli @dan_alun @paulacoxsli @AdamJayPrice Same, except I have a Kindle Scribe :-) I love it!

@dan_alun @paulacoxsli @AdamJayPrice I use my remarkable for theatre scripts. I can scribble my translations all over it and like you say, saves the trees (and my ink cartridge)

The brilliant @SarahMillican75 showing us how it's done. I'll be interpreting for these dates & wld love to see you all there. Share them widely pls. So many #BSL users still tell me they've never seen live stand-up or didn't know the dates. Let's get the info out there!

@githii I lived in America for a bit and they couldn't believe that I walked to high school. It was only 15 mins down the road, but it blew my friends minds!
