Blending personal narrative and theory, Justin Read presents his master’s thesis, which explores the complexities of Coda identity and examines how living in-between the spaces of Deaf and hearing worlds shapes language, cultural identity, and professional practice.
Participants will be invited to engage in a brief reflective exploration of their own experiences.
Presentation will be conducted in ASL. Interpreters will be provided.
