Árný Guðmundsdóttir, Iceland will share results from her master’s dissertation. Árný will be presenting findings from interviews with Deaf users and Sign Language interpreters from a small deaf community. In addition to these presenters we plan to allocate time to organize discussion groups or workshops on the participants’ own subjects. This activity has been well received on previous Nordic seminars. The program will commence on Friday night with introductions and presentations, and will end on Sunday evening. There are no late flights from Faroe Island on Sunday and we think it a shame if the program was limited to one day only, so we have chosen to stay and enjoy the Islands and good company until Monday. nordicseminar2012@hotmail.com |
