My dissertation research focuses on the perceptions and experiences of deaf and hard-of-hearing young people aged 13-28 using a signed language (Finnish sign language/other sign languages) about their multiliteracies, linguistic agency and participation in digital and other everyday environments.
SIGNS@HWU is a group of researchers who focus on sign language studies and Deaf Studies. We are situated in the Department of Languages and Intercultural Studies, Heriot-Watt University. SIGNS@HWU was established as a cluster of the Centre for Translation and Interpreting Studies in Scotland, to profile the world-leading interdisciplinary research being conducted at Heriot-Watt University.
