- Hello, I'm Jill... - ... and I'm Jenna. - Welcome to ASL Stew!
(hand slap... ♪♪♪)
So, I'm sure many of you guys have heard of TED talks before.
I know there are quite a lot of them
and I've seen quite a few and I like them.
I think it's a really good short way to talk about a topic.
But today we're going to be talking about our favorite Deaf TED Talks.
So, we're going to give you a few. I think there's 4 or 5 of them.
Then you guys can watch them. Doesn't matter if you're Deaf or hearing.
All of them have captions and all of them have voice except one
but that one still has captions.
So, you can still understand even if you don't know sign language. Okay!
Also, one more thing before we start.
The videos are great for just watching, or for receptive skill practice,
plus you can use them for really any type of training for your skills if you just want to learn.
So I thought it'd be a good idea to give you those.
- Also, it's good for getting a Deaf perspective as well on the different topics.
- Right, of course.
- So, first I love this one. It's from a person named Christine Sun Kim.
Her talk is called "The Enchanting Music of Sign Language".
It's a really interesting video.
She talks about music and how that's included in her life as a Deaf person.
So it's really cool to -- it has a lot of different art perspectives in it, so it's interesting.
- Yeah that one became pretty popular before.
Plus she has awesome hair! Watch it, you'll see. You'll agree.
- You want her hair? - Yeah, of course. But longer.
- But you're an interpreter... can't do it.
- Yeah, just watch and see. All of you interpreters will be so jealous.
"I want that hair!" Or maybe not... I don't know.
The next one is from Keith Nolan.
He is a private cadet. I think she (Jenna) said this is the sign for that.
I'm not sure, so let me know if you know the sign for that.
But anyways... his video is called "Deaf in the Military".
That's talking about his struggle trying to get into the military.
Most of the time, Deaf people are not allowed to be in the military
because of having a "disability".
So, he talks about what his motivations were, the reasons of wanting to be in the military.
Just how he went through and fought for his rights to be involved in the military.
So, it's really inspiring to see his struggle and all of the work he did
and it helped a lot of people. So that one's really cool.
- The next one is from Wayne Betts Jr.
His video is called "The Deaf Lens".
It's a really fascinating video.
He's talking about being a filmmaker
and how movies were so crucial in his life growing up.
He immersed himself in movies and what that whole process was for him
making movies and providing a Deaf perspective on film.
- Also he mentioned how interesting how movies became, I guess you'd called it a "benchmark".
But, his mom would say "hey do you remember that one time?"
He'd say "no". She's be like "you know that movie"
and he'd connect that movie to that event.
So, he talked about that experience of something that you've had.
He went to movies -- you know the big screen -- and there were no captions.
So he would just kind of make things up and look at the framing and the lighting and all of that.
Which is really an interesting perspective!
The next is from a woman named Wanda Riddle.
Her talk is called "Fallacy: Deaf As An Economic Burden".
It's interesting when I first saw this, I'd never thought of that before.
So, what she's talking about is, a lot of people think that a D/deaf person
equates to putting a lot of money in.
Taking care of and helping people with "disabilities".
So you think that D/deaf people are so to speak an economic burden.
You have to pay for interpreters and all these other things.
A lot of it is a negative perspective. But Wanda talks about how that isn't true.
There's actually a lot of positive things. It doesn't mean there is an economic burden.
There's actually more positives.
So I thought that was really good for people to watch and maybe open their mind a little bit,
have a different perspective. Plus if you are D/deaf
and people have told you "it cost too much money" blah, blah, blah,
you can take a look at this and then kind of keep it in the back of your mind
so you can approach them and say "No actually what about this...."
So it's a good way to fight back.
- Okay, the last one is from Benjamin Lewis.
His is called "Understanding Humankind Through Gesture".
Interesting video -- she likes it a lot because he's very energetic and animated.
So obviously because of the topic and the title, makes sense.
But really, the point of it is that visual language, gesturing, cues,
all of that is incorporated into all cultures. All languages have that.
People assume that if you're hearing that you depend on everything auditorily.
Just speaking and that's it... but no, you actually include
quite a lot of gesturing, and a lot of... non... mouthing movement, cues. Things like that.
So, it's pretty cool.
- Yeah, plus the video itself shows some examples
of hearing people gesturing and it's really funny. You just watch it. You'll get a good laugh.
- Yeah check it out.
- Okay, now we just gave you a few Deaf TED talks, but there's a lot more!
Many are D/deaf people themselves, but some are hearing people talking about Deaf topics.
So, I would suggest if you want to Google,
you can Google "TED Gallaudet", so that's the first one.
The next one is "TED Islay", I-S-L-A-Y.
I don't remember why, but there's that one. Which has quite a few Deaf people there.
I-S-L-A-Y, I'll have it down in the description below.
You can do that, or just Google "Deaf TED talks" and then it should have a list of those.
Kind of explaining if it is a hearing or a D/deaf person and all of that.
But, there's quite a lot of them.
More things you can watch if you want a specific topic you're interested.
I remember there was one from the girl that was in the Sound and Fury movie.
You know, growing up and now she kind of explains about that, which is cool.
But there's a lot, lot more you can look into. Definitely check them out!
