English and visual description of video:
My name is Sabrina Ward-Kimola, I am a woman with light brown hair, glasses and in this video, I am wearing a pink sweater. I am a CODA from Vancouver and Vancouver Island currently living in Montreal, and I am doing a project for my PhD about the media history of video calling in Vancouver’s Deaf community.
I am seeking volunteers for research interviews, from any of the following groups of people:
– a Deaf, Hard of Hearing or Deaf-Blind media user/historian or CODA/Interpreter/family member fluent in ASL (or ASL PT) who used the webcam in the 1990’s or early 2000’s?
– Interested in contributing to Deaf history from a CODA perspective?
The details are:
– All interviews will be video recorded in ASL;
– Interviewer will ask questions related to your early memories of webcam use;
– Location is flexible (Zoom preferred)
– If you do not want to be identified, the interview can be made anonymous;
– Final project will be made available in both ASL and English;
– You are free to end your participation anytime;
