We are pleased to announce the second Reframing Our Language
Experience (ROLE) Symposium, taking place online on May 19, 2025 from
11am to 4pm EDT. Learn more and register for this FREE, ONLINE
conference at
https://www.rolecollective.org/events/2nd-role-symposium. More
information about the ROLE Collective and details about the conference
are below.
Conference details:
The Reframing Our Language Experience (ROLE) Collective was
established in 2022 with the intent of bringing together researchers,
clinicians, policy makers, and educators to move away from linguistic
injustice that has been created by native speaker ideologies.
Find out more about  the ROLE Collective on our website
(http://www.rolecollective.org), where you can also view the
presentations and resources from the first ROLE Symposium.
ROLE will be holding our second online symposium on May 19, 2025. The
goal of this event is to bring together scholars who are committed to
challenging harmful ideologies in linguistics and related fields;
those who are committed to advocating for and implementing changes in
practice within their fields, academia, and beyond; and those wanting
to learn more about these topics.
The half-day symposium will include three sections:
 - Short Presentations + Panel Discussion
 - Invited Presentation + Q&A
 - Thematic Workshops
We have booked ASL interpreters and aim to meet other accessibility
needs as requested by attendees.
Join us in this significant endeavor to reshape the landscape of
linguistics and foster a more inclusive and just approach to language
study and application.
Keynote Presentation
We are happy to confirm that Dr. Anna Lim (Boston University) will be
giving the keynote presentation, titled "The Impossible Multilingual."
What does it mean to be considered “multilingual” in a world that is
obsessed with hearingness and speech and the use of this auditory-oral
modality to perceive and convey language? Such is the central inquiry
and discussion of this presentation. There will be a reckoning of
White Deaf native signerism (definition co-constructed with Dr. Lina
Hou) and the widespread use of the label “atypical language users” in
the interpreting field. With this reckoning leading to a grounding
that is rooted in the conceptualization of how language is used in
discourse and how context will always shape language use in discourse,
we will begin to analyse how a deaf individual’s languaging is
essentially a product of their culture and community. The frameworks
of deaf liminality, translanguaging, raciolinguistics, and crip
linguistics will be expounded on with the idea that these are just
three of the many perspectives brought up in research on the
languaging of deaf individuals with intersectional experiences.
Discourse strategies (or approaches to communication by and with
interlocutors who have different language practices) will be discussed
in the light of the current state of Deaf Education in the United
States and how deaf students in general and immigrant deaf students in
particular navigate the system. Implications for educational practices
by teachers of the deaf and teachers in mainstreamed classrooms as
well as for healthcare provision of speech and language pathologists
and other school professionals who work with deaf students will be
reviewed.
Presentation panels:
 - Sign Languages
 - Research-centered issues
 - Profession-centered issues
