2022-DCAL-XMAS-NEWSLETTER-MAIREAD-MACSWEENEY
Another year has flown by and at DCAL we are trying to adapt back to ‘pre-covid’ ways of working. COVID brought challenges, but it also pushed forward some positive changes too. Like everyone, we are now much more used to having online talks from remote presenters. It has been great to have DCAL presentations this year from around the world. This year has also been a fantastic year for BSL and the representation of deaf people in the media. This summer the BSL Act was passed by Parliament. DCAL staff and students were delighted to join so many people on sunny days in the Spring in Trafalgar Square to campaign for this and then to celebrate the approval of the Act. This of course is just one step in ensuring greater access to BSL for deaf people. There is much work to be done and we hope that research we conduct at DCAL can contribute towards this. We have selected a summary of some of the DCAL highlights from this year for you. We hope you enjoy learning more about what we have been

DCAL-Xmas-Newsletter-2020-Participation-Engagement-SUBS
We are delighted to be collaborating with Deaf artist Rubbena Aurangzeb-Tariq and the east London deaf community in ‘The Light-Wave project’. East London’s deaf Community is a long-established part of East London life, but it has invariably been underrepresented in British deaf culture. The project aspires to facilitate a creative collaboration that recognises the east London Deaf community’s history, culture and language.

DCAL-Xmas-Newsletter-2020-Studying-SUBS
This year has been unprecedented for university education. DCAL, like the rest of UCL, rose to the challenge -- we moved all our typical face-to-face teaching practices online, while ensuring a full and rich educational experience for our students. This has required a huge amount of work in a short space of time. It is working though!

DCAL-Xmas-Newsletter-2020-Covid-19-SUBS
The current pandemic has shaken our personal and professional lives, challenging the ways in which we communicate and work, in many cases with more profound effects for deaf and hard of hearing people. Members of DCAL developed a range of strategies and guidelines to adapt to these new challenges. Here we want to share some of these with you, as well as some other online resources that can be of use during this period of remote working.

DCAL-Xmas-Newsletter-2020-Start-SUBS
There is no doubt that 2020 has been a challenging year for everybody. At DCAL, we have had to adapt all our work, teaching and research to remote and new environments. This has been challenging, but has also helped us grow and develop in unexpected ways. In this newsletter, we would like to share with you not only our research and achievements during this difficult year, but also some of the challenges and tools that we developed to overcome them.
