Interview Request for Master's Thesis – Inclusion of Deaf Individuals in Advertising

[Terence]

Dear community,

 

My name is Terence, and I am currently writing my Master's thesis in Media & Communication Management at Macromedia University Munich, Germany. As the child of Deaf parents and a fluent French Sign Language user, I am personally and academically committed to issues of accessibility and inclusion.

 

My thesis focuses on how advertising can become more inclusive for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) individuals. As part of my research, I am conducting qualitative interviews with Deaf individuals to understand their experiences with advertising, representation, and accessibility.

 

Would it be possible to connect me with someone from your community who would be willing to participate in a short, fully accessible interview (30–45 minutes, online)? Therefore, I would be happy to have interpretation services to support the conversation as I am not able to understand ASL.

 

I am struggling a bit to find someone speaking ASL, so I would be very grateful for your support or guidance on how best to proceed.

 

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

 

Warm regards,

 

Terence Couteille
