A collaborative effort
Our interdisciplinary team includes researchers from University of Maryland, Howard University, Gallaudet University, The Ohio State University, Georgetown University, and University of Connecticut, and our student researchers hail from 7 different DC-area schools, and counting!
One of our goals is to make this work scalable to other researchers, to make it easier to do public-facing research and engagement at Planet Word and other public settings. Please get in touch if this sounds interesting to you.
