I attended a really interesting session in the Sandwell Deaf Community Centre yesterday given by my friend and colleague Anne Leahy. She's looking at a lot of the same issues as I am, especially in relation to the historical roots of sign langauge interpreting in court. It was hosted by the British Deaf History Society - a most enjoyable day!
My history blog looking at the experiences of Irish Deaf people within institutions in Ireland between 1851 and 1921. I am focusing my research on Deaf people in schools, workhouses, courts, and prisons.
