It was a good interview, I think-- all three of the keynote speakers had points to make, and the papers from this conference were fantastic. I hope the presenters will share more of their research, or publish their materials. We can all benefit from what they've found. DE, Jean, and R, thanks!

It requires the art of eliciting answers from an interviewée as evinced by yours with Dr. Ladd. I cannot agree more with David Eberwein that Deafhood is a process "on both individual and community levels...." I am fully aware that it is much more difficult for hearing Americans to be fully receptive to the concept of Deafhood since the USA itself is an isolated country wherein most monolingual Americans do not recognise ASL as a langauge that has met Noam Chomsky's universal rules of grammar when in terms of structure of syntax.

Thanks. It's always good to hear from Paddy, a source of deep inspiration for me. Just wanted to add to Paddy's comment on the U.S.' "enquiring nature"... I heartily concur, there are many wonderful Deaf communities across the U.S. who have hosted Deafhood workshops, seminars, and book discussions. I feel fortunate to be in the U.S. at this time- Deaf communities are indeed ready to take on this journey. Flint (Michigan), Illinois, Wisconsin, California, and Rhode Island Associations of the Deaf have/are hosting(ed) Deafhood workshops, plus the NAD, Registry of Interpreters of the Deaf, Gallaudet University, Minnesota ASLTA, and DCARA, as well. To the best of my knowledge, Sacramento and Phoenix Deaf communities have Deafhood book groups. Amazing! Anyway, while Deafhood is a process and a journey like Paddy says, I'd like to point out that it is a process on both individual and community levels. It is a process for oneself, but in a vibrant collectivist community like the many Deaf communities across the U.S., it also becomes a process for a group of Deaf people working and living together. I mean, our communities are getting together and looking at the "big picture" and resolving past disputes and starting to prioritize things, seeing things through the Deafhood "lens", and so forth. This is a new experience for many of us; to have this "change the world" attitude. Our communities (or should I say the over-arching "U.S. Deaf Community"?) are growing and I don't mean just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. That's Deafhood to me. Thanks, David (Eberwein) David (Evans),
