New Series: Deaf Studies and Sign Linguistics

We are excited to be launching this brand new series, which brings together research exploring various sign languages, deaf communities and education settings.

Reflecting the truly interdisciplinary nature of these topics, the series welcomes perspectives from anthropology, bilingualism, education, early childhood studies, interpreting and more! We are especially keen to see books by deaf scholars and research on underrepresented sign languages and communities.

If you have an idea for a book or you’d like to know more about the proposal process, please get in touch with commissioning editor, Rosie McEwan ([email protected]).
