Rachel and Donna are hearing, sign-language-using researchers who, since 1989/1999, respectively, have worked in the field of Deaf Studies. In 2008, they were both invited, separately, to present at a conference called “I am Deaf: Deaf Studies in the 21st Century” that caused them to reassess who they are and where they fit with Deaf Studies. Donna presented, and Rachel booked a foreign holiday.
