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


Terence

Recommended Posts

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 BSL.
 
I am struggling a bit to find someone speaking BSL, 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

I have used Makaton intermittently over the year with children who I have worked with but have always wanted to learn BSL. I have been inspired to do this recently by watching some television dramas that have had members of the d/Deaf community using BSL. I also have some hearing loss and feel that it would be useful to learn some BSL to help with communication.
    • I have always been interested in learning BSL, having taught myself the finger spelling signs when I was about 10 years old from my mum's old nursing sign language book. I have currently just finished my first year of a masters in Speech and Language Therapy which has reignited my interest. I hope to have, at the very least, a base level knowledge of BSL when going into an SLT role in the future to be able to support my communication with prospective clients / patients.
    • The topic of relationships always resonates, especially when discussed in communities where people share personal experiences and try to be as sincere as possible. It is important that the conversation is not limited to stereotypes, but touches on real feelings, doubts and hopes. Finding the right person is not an easy task, especially if you have specific perceptions of the world or communication. Fortunately, there are now platforms that take into account different life contexts. If you are in
