On being nice
In this article, I offer a metatheoretical conceptualization of U.S. American niceness as facework and identity performance comprised of prioritization, care, and adaptability. I integrate a theoretical etymology of niceness as embedded in social scientific discourses with a thematic analysis of psychometric scales used to measure niceness. Drawing on scholarship related to social identities and this new articulation of niceness grounded in the B…

Listening Play as Disability Gain
Bimodal multilingual education
Although research of bilingualism in a single aural–oral linguistic mode is common, this has yet to be extended to visual–gestural modes of language use. This is a significant research gap, as deaf people and signed languages are agentic forces that contribute to a diverse global linguistic and sociocultural landscape. In this article, we present a current deaf bilingualism case study in Uruguay to explore ways that education may move beyond a fo…
Perpetuating ableist constructions of the “real world” through complaints about new communication technologies
Complaints about the use of new communication technologies are frequent in public discourse and work within a broader assemblage of discourses that promote selective ideologies. What is it that people are doing when they produce these complaints, and how might acts of complaining promote equity in our daily lives? We analyse complaints taken from 16 hours of video recorded dialogues and argue that the complaint discourse about the relationship of…
Expanding our listening orientations
This study considers ways to improve conceptualization of listening types through exploration of widely used listening scales: the 24-item and 8-item revised Listening Styles Profiles (LSP-R and LSP-R8) and the revised Listening Concepts Inventory (LCI-R). Using an online survey, we examined the ways that these scales correlate within and across each other. Our results demonstrate several robust correlations between the subscales of each listenin…
Dialogic Listening
The Hybrid I/Eye
Hybridity, when related to identity research, points to a blending of difference in such a way that new performances of identity may appear in various social interactions. Exploring hybridity can create new perceptions of social life and reveal the complex ways that people’s diverse relationships and life stages construct people’s identities. In this critical autoethnography, I consider how disability and racial identities intersect. More specifi…
Complaints about technology as a resource for identity-work
This article examines how people complain about technology. Using discourse analysis, we inspect sixteen hours of video-recorded focus-group interviews and focused one-on-one discussions where technology was topicalized. We investigate these conversations paying attention to (i) features of language and its situated delivery, including emphasis, word choice, metaphor, and categorizations; and (ii) how these accomplish social actions. We show how …
Extinction, genealogy, and institutionalization
News accounts of the recent discovery of Hawai’i Sign Language tell of the identification of a new language—one nearing extinction—and, ultimately, the happy ending of language preservation. By applying postcolonial and disability studies scholarship to the news coverage, we reframe marginalized languages through an alternative logic. We examine the narratives of extinction, genealogy, and institutionalization that underlie both colonial and able…
Identifying overlapping language communities
In this paper, I use a holographic metaphor to explain the identification of overlapping sign language communities in Panama. By visualizing Panama’s complex signing communities as emitting community “hotspots” through social drama on multiple stages, I employ ethnographic methods to explore overlapping contours of Panama’s sign language communities in both time and space, similar to what a hologram accomplishes. Based on rapid appraisal of Panam…
Engaging the Discourse of International Language Recognition through ISO 639-3 Signed Language Change Requests
Linguistic ideologies that are left unquestioned and unexplored, especially as reflected and produced in marginalized language communities, can contribute to inequality made real in decisions about languages and the people who use them. One of the primary bodies of knowledge guiding international language policy is the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 639-3 Registry of Languages. I explore the impact of international language …
