(Both) Hello! Matthew: What’s up? Time is a-nearing- only less than 2 months left until you all come here for the Deaf Studies Conference 2018 with its theme of Transformations!

Tawny: Yes, that’s cool to think about! Upon reviewing the agenda and program of presenters, we can confirm it’s top-notch. The planned rich variety of perspectives will contribute thoughts, knowledge, and research to the field of Deaf Studies. So we all ought be excited. But wait a minute- you may be watching and thinking, “Oh no, you mean when the conference happens on November 1-3rd, that knowledge will vanish into thin air?” No, we have good news! We want to announce that we will collaborate with Deaf Studies Digital Journal (DSDJ)! We would like to welcome them to share more about their vision.
