Summary:
“That was a huge experience for me,” Ronelle Johnson recalls of her term as President of Indiana Chapter of Black Deaf Advocates (ICBDA). “I decided to be involved in the Deaf community because their needs for advocacy was great.” Having lost her hearing when she was 18 months old, she attended the Indiana School for the Deaf in Indianapolis. There all her teachers were required to sign, which they did fluently. “That's when I started picking up more language, more signs, and started becoming more ingrained in the Deaf community.” In 2005, she joined ICBDA. The organization was started in 1991. Its activities include mentoring children, promoting their ability to express themselves, and reinforcing positive values. Ronelle has been active in advocacy for Deaf rights and working for systems change. “Many of the people in our group have experienced suppression and opposition because of being Black and Deaf.” Ronelle became ICBDA’s Midwestern regional representative and got involved at a national level. Ronelle was interviewed in 2019.

Summary:
While we often think about the end form - website, digital journal, online resource - when we talk about digital scholarly communications, the work of digital arts and humanities publishing starts at the very beginning of a project. we will walk participants through what digital publications are (moving behind articles and monographs to peer-reviewed datasets and visualizations), how to present these in peer-review and promotion settings, and how to craft a project that takes these publication types and needs to account during the early, mid, and late- research stages. From practical data-management and storage concerns to the more intellectually challenging questions of how to frame the disciplinary outcomes of digital projects to our readers and peers, we will send participants home with a project plan and set of campus resources to support that plan.
