In this podcast, Dr Carly Lassig (DSQ's Lead Education Consultant) interviews Dr Emma Watkins, also known as Emma Memma (previously known as the Yellow Wiggle). This interview came about in response to the increasing interest from schools in Auslan (Australian Sign Language) and Key Word Sign (a visual communication approach that adds signs, borrowed from Auslan, to spoken words), and the DSQ's Education Team's observations of how music is such an effective way to teach children signing. Emma tells us about the development of Emma Memma, which teaches Auslan through music and movement, and is based on her PhD research. We learn about what first motivated Emma to learn to sign and how she continues to develop her Auslan skills and understanding of Deaf culture. We also discuss some considerations for introducing signing in schools.This podcast is a production of Down Syndrome Queensland.If you have a question, would like more information on any of our episodes, or have suggestions for future topics, send us an email - engagement@downsyndrome.qld.org.au.For more information please visit the DSQ website, or follow us on Facebook and Instagram.Mentioned in this episode:Down Syndrome Queensland

Well, today I got to sit down with the amazing Rebecca Adam, CEO of Expression Australia. And let me tell you, this episode was a first for me - I had my very first Auslan-interpreted conversation, and I was like a kid in a candy shop! Rebecca's story blew me away. She's profoundly deaf, but that hasn't stopped her from smashing through glass ceilings. She's the first deaf CEO of her organization in 140 years and she's also a lawyer to the Supreme Court of Victoria using Auslan.  We talked about everything from her experiences growing up in a deaf household, to leading a national organisation, to the ways technology is helping (and sometimes falling short) when it comes to deaf inclusion. I even learned that one in six Aussies is actually affected by hearing loss. Rebecca's got such a calm, yet powerful presence, and she's been breaking barriers in education, sports, law - you name it.. I adore her! Her resilience and the way she's used adversity as fuel to become a leader and an advocate for the deaf community is such a legendary achievement. Plus, huge thanks to Mark Quinn, the Auslan interpreter. This conversation was one of my favourites!

On this episode of #mensexpleasure, I chat with Katia Schwartz. Katia is a disability and sex worker rights activist, with a career in the sex industry spanning over 16 years. As a profoundly deaf, queer sex worker, Katia navigates unique intersections and is passionate about advocating for the destigmatisation and inclusion of marginalised groups. Episode transcript: CLICK HERE Key points: Introductions and background Katia introduces herself as a deaf, disabled sex worker who lives on Gadigal land in Sydney and does advocacy work for the disabled and sex worker communities. Cam shares that he previously wrote a blog post about the appropriation of sex worker aesthetics, in which he quoted Katia. Katia's experience on SBS Insight Katia describes being approached by the producers of the SBS Insight TV show to appear on an episode about "Convenient Relationships" and transactional relationships. She made her access needs clear, including requiring an Auslan interpreter and accurate closed captions, which the producers agreed to. However, when the episode aired, the captions were poor quality and not synced properly, making it inaccessible for Katia. She tried to resolve the issue with the network but faced dismissive responses. Misconceptions about disability and sex work Katia discusses common misconceptions people have about disabled people and sex workers, including the assumption that disabled people cannot or should not engage in sexual activity. She shares examples of inappropriate questions she's received, like "How do you have sex if you're deaf?" Katia explains how her disability informs and enhances her sex work in positive ways, like her heightened sensory awareness and communication skills. Advice for allies and advocates Katia provides advice for allies and advocates, emphasizing the importance of listening to marginalized voices, being open to feedback, and amplifying the perspectives of those with lived experiences. She encourages people to diversify their social media feeds and be mindful of the representation and narratives they consume. Wrap-up and resources Katia shares how to find and connect with her online, including her Instagram handle and website. Cam thanks Katia for the insightful conversation and the opportunity to learn.

In this episode, we're chatting with Dr Howard (Howie) Manns, Senior Lecturer in Linguistics and Applied Linguistics at Monash University. We were so excited to have the chance to speak with Howie, because we are fascinated by his language story and his academic work - from growing up in a monolingual environment and then (unexpectedly) becoming a linguist through joining the US Navy, to working as a researcher who now studies Australian English, Indonesian, tactile (deafblind) Auslan and intercultural communication. We hope you enjoy this great Language Chat - we could have spoken with Howie for hours (but have made sure that we didn't take up more than an hour of his precious time)!

Today I'm speaking with Mary Li, ballet mistress and principal répétiteur at the Queensland Ballet. Mary's story to the stage is an unlikely one—one of eight children, Mary grew up in a small town in Central Queensland called Rockhampton. She was the first person in her family to try ballet, but by the age of 16—the day after completing her Solo Seal exam—she flew to London after being accepted into Royal Ballet School. Her star continued to rise, on graduation Mary was accepted into London Festival Ballet, now the English National Ballet—and was made principal within four years. But it was a chance move to Houston Ballet in the United States that saw the course of her life change again—when she crossed paths with another principal dancer, Li Cunxin—they would go on to marry, and dance together all over the globe. In this wonderfully brave conversation, Mary opens up about her career, meeting her husband and learning of his life, and their decision to have children. But Mary also talks about the devastating decision to leave her career after her eldest child was found to be hearing impaired, the grief she suffered knowing her child would never hear music, reuniting with the stage at the Queensland Ballet, and now choosing to learn AUSLAN with her eldest daughter Sophie.Mary continues to train and teach the principal artists of Queensland Ballet, all the while juggling life with Li and their three grown up children, Sophie, Tom and Bridie. Mary continues to learn AUSLAN, and her book Mary's Last Dance is available on Audible and in all good bookshops. If you'd like to listen to Li's conversation with me, please scroll down to Episode 5 of Talking Pointes, and we'll also pop the link in the show notes—and finally, to continue to follow all of Mary's adventures, you'll find her on Instagram.Mary and I recorded remotely, with Mary dialling in from Brisbane. This episode was produced in Sydney on the land of the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation to whom we pay our greatest respects.

On this episode of Queering The Air, we're excited to introduce you a long time volunteer from SlutWalkMelbourne, Mev. Mev discussed the significance of the event and provided us with a comprehensive overview of its history. Sasja and Mev delved into why this rally is so important.Mev (she/they) is a neurodivergent queer creative and activist living and working here on stolen Wurundjeri land. They've been volunteering with the SlutWalk Naarm/Melbourne collective for years, motivated and informed by a history of trauma.They believe in the importance of continuously learning and improving, valuing human rights, consent education, intersectional feminism, anti-racism, decolonisation, LGBTQIA+ rights, decriminalisation of sex work, accessibility, mental health, environmental sustainability and animal rights.Join SlutWalk Naarm/Melbourne on 25 November 2023 to march against slut-shaming, victim-blaming, and rape culture in the CBD. This global movement started in Canada in 2011 after offensive comments by a police officer. SlutWalks have since taken place worldwide, including annually in Naarm/Melbourne for 12 years. The demands are simple: end slut-shaming, victim-blaming, and rape culture. We fight against all forms of bigotry and hierarchy. Let's prioritise survivors and our lives over profit. We've seen the prevalence of rape culture in recent news stories, and it's time to stop using rape and assault as weapons of control. Meet outside the State Library Victoria at 12pm, with speakers from diverse backgrounds and Auslan interpreters.https://www.facebook.com/slutwalkmelbourneSLUTWALK NARRM/MELBOURNE25 NOVEMBER 2023 - 12:00PMSTATE LIBRARY VICTORIAMusic:Papi (Bhabi) by Eden ShalevEderlezi feat Dikanda by Dj Dark & MD DJUrfa'nin Etrafi Dumanti Daglar (Anatolian Sessions Remix) by DJ Kaikhan

Ever wondered about the appropriate way to approach gender identity, use language in a way to make people feel comfortable and even more so - how to explain and guide your kids in all of this?? We certainly have! So today we have the best person to guide us through gender identity, inclusivity and ultimately how we can raise our children to be their authentic selves in a gendered world. Our guest Adrienne Harper-Pike shares her lived experience with feeling 'othered' and as a bit of outsider in the way she was raised in a conservative bible belt, mid-west American community. She's now a mother of 5-year-old twins living in Victoria, Australia, in a queer relationship with a non-binary partner. She practices an 'aware parenting' style to raise her children and works as an ‘aware parenting' educator. In this episode she shares her wonderful and inclusive insight to language, labelling, gender identity and raising children. A fascinating and informative chat. We hope you enjoy.

We've got a sexy episode for you today everybody and we're here for it! We noticed that you were all rather interested last time we spoke with a sexologist so here we are again to unpack some more on the sex front. Let's be honest, once we go through pregnancies, having babies and raising children there's a lot to unpack. Today we talk to psychologist and sex therapist Emma St John. We chatted about sexual desire and the meaning around it, the seasons in our relationships that change the landscape of sex. Emma shares her approach to sexual well-being and how she merges psychology and sexuality to foster a holistic approach and we mostly talk about our relationships and how we navigate not just sex but connection, intimacy, communication and so much more.  Thanks to our episode sponsor.

"I think we are a long way to the hearing world fully embracing myself and other deaf artists" A picture paints a thousand words but Gonketa's art pieces share his identity through his first language ‘Auslan' in hopes to excite and inspire his audience to learn to sign. In this episode Jaycob Campbell a.k.a Gonketa (an onomatopoeia of a ball in a spray can) tells his story of identity and inclusion when it comes to the hearing art world and why he is so passionate about the next generation of Deaf artists. Jaycob talks about his initial resistance going into the art world and confrontation of attending a University that made accessibility difficult. Jaycob talks about his personal experience with his Deaf Identity and his connection/exposure to Deaf Culture from a young age.

Li Cunxin, artistic director of the Queensland Ballet, joins us today on Talking Pointes. Most of you will know Li from his early life. He is Mao's Last Dancer. Li was born into complete poverty in rural China, where he was plucked from obscurity to join the Beijing Dance Academy. He was put through years of brutal training, up to 16 hours a day, to become a dancer. However, his life was meant to be one of twists and turns. He was chosen to undergo an exchange to the United States to dance with the Houston Ballet and while he was there he fell in love and married an American dancer. The resulting standoff between the USA and China made Li a global name, and with it, a ballet superstar. But with that success also came pain. In this wonderfully personal and at times emotional interview, Li shares stories from his early life, and the trauma of being banned from China, but he also shares the highs, reuniting with his parents, finding enduring love and to learning Auslan for his eldest daughter, Sophie.

Communicating is about more than the literal, dictionary-entry-style words that we say -- it's also about the many subtle ingredients that go into a message, from how you keep your audience in mind to how you portray the actions of the people you're talking about. In this episode, your host Gretchen McCulloch interviews Dr. Gabrielle Hodge, a deaf researcher and writer based in Melbourne, Australia. She specialises in research relating to d/Deaf people, signed languages, and communication, and has worked with Auslan and British Sign Language (BSL) in Australia and the UK. We talk about Gab's work analysing how people tell stories using a mixture of conventional signs (such as “book”) and enactment, aka showing what another person or character did using your body, such as depicting how someone is carrying a heavy book. We also talk about collaborations in multiple countries and assessing what makes a translation accessible to deaf people. We're excited to bring you this bilingual episode in Auslan and English! For the full experience, make sure to watch the captioned video version of this episode at youtube.com/lingthusiasm (and check out our previous bilingual episode in ASL and English with Dr. Lynn Hou while you're there). Read the transcript here - https://lingthusiasm.com/post/711999152213590016/transcript-episode-78-bringing-stories-to-life-in Announcements: Since we filmed this interview, Gab has accepted a position as Senior Lecturer in Sign Language Linguistics at the University of Edinburgh. We're excited to see more great work from her there! In this month's bonus episode we get enthusiastic about four science fiction books/series we're read recently that project interesting future versions of English. We also talk about reading books set in the future but written in the past, and how several of these books now exist in a future that's in some ways more similar to their imagined futures than the time when they were being written. Join us on Patreon now to get access to this and 70+ other bonus episodes, as well as access to the Lingthusiasm Discord server where you can chat with other language nerds.

Your Story Disability Legal Support offers free, independent, confidential legal support to make submissions to the Disability Royal Commission, which is currently open until 31 December 2022.

There aren't many things that evoke more YAY than the Wiggles, especially a sunshine-coloured one!!! While she has now officially hung up her yellow Wiggle shoes, Emma Watkins still radiates like a sunbeam and we are so lucky to have her here today.  As always, it was such a delight to trace back to a younger Emma who never could have dreamed of where she'd end up and with whom I have an earlier very intense dancer's life in common. You might have guessed that her love for the arts has been lifelong, but you might NOT know she's also a skilled filmmaker, has been in Bollywood films, won Miss Granny Smith Apples AND learnt Auslan all before becoming the first ever female Wiggle. Now, she is doing some incredible work with artistic integrations of sign language through her PhD which you will hear all about in the episode. PLUS Emma's also stepping into some beautiful frocks this month as an ambassador for the OCRF's incredible Frocktober Campaign – I've popped links below to this incredible initiative.
