Ms. Kent has presented at interpreting and ASL Studies conferences, international conferences on community interpretation, and been invited to speak at European universities. She published several articles and chapters, one of which has been translated into German. Steph's work as a professional interpreter and researcher of communication involves the intersection of discourse and dynamics.
"Deaf Empowerment: An Example of Making a Difference"
A review of lessons Deaf people have taught ASL interpreters and others, which sign language interpreters can now use to challenge/educate spoken language interpreters. Deaf people have the opportunity to be role models and allies to people from other linguistic minority groups - even those who use spoken languages....
#10:45 am - 11:45 am Workshop –
Arkady Belozovsky
Lecturer, Educator, Brown University
His teaching experience includes American Sign Language (ASL), Deaf Studies, and Russian Sign Language (RSL) at the university/college levels. His research interests include cultural history of USSR with particular attention to Deaf intellectual history, Deaf Russian-American Studies, curriculum development, second sign language acquisition, sign language pedagogy, cross- and intercultural communication, and comparative linguistics in RSL and ASL.
"Whose ASL is it? Is ASL Culturally & Linguistically Diverse?"
In our 21st century, we have faced many different views in our everyday life. While more Deaf residential schools, clubs, theatres, non-profit organizations are closed or dwindling, we have adapted well to the conditions that we and new technologies (telecommunication and media) have created. However, there are some challenges and questions that are still unanswered. Who measure and make a decision for our ASL community? Who determine signers’ ASL levels? Is there a center of ASL linguistic authority? Deaf Studies? Variations of ASL based on background, education, and ethnicity will be discussed.
11:45 am - 1:00 pm Lunch
#1:00 pm - 2:00 pm Workshop -
Janis Cole

As an educator, consultant, trainer, facilitator, performer, interpreter, producer/director and avid ASL advocate for over 30 years, Ms. Cole is guiding the company to create products to share the art of ASL storytelling genres with audiences both Deaf and hearing; young children and adults.
