Presented my paper at TDS 2019

I presented my paper Recognizing Hard of Hearing Speech: From Speech-language Pathology to Sociolinguistics at the first Taiwan Disability Studies annual conference, Taipei. 

I talked about how different Hard of Hearing speakers position themselves in relation to the oralist/audist hegemony and how this positioning is related to their minimal pair reading practice. 

I'm glad that I was challenged by a postgraduate student working on linguistic anthropology with Deaf people that she found my examination of the reading practice of Hard of Hearing people could be accused of audism. I appreciate this critique. I will be more careful about framing my study in the future.
