This workshop is designed for Deaf junior scholars with multiply-oppressed identities and will cover several possible challenges and misconceptions about scholarly writing processes. A writing challenge as a Deaf-signing scholar can be seen as a part of the essentialism/core experience of being Deaf, after suffering multiple educational traumas and series of imposter syndrome. Nonetheless, any written reports of our research or the opportunity of publishing our research should not be avoided or seen as a last straw. Sometimes we accidentally or unconsciously write in ASL-influenced English, or people sometimes call it “Deaf English” or “Broken English.” This workshop will review different strategies to mitigate our writing ordeals and eventually, we will appreciate the struggle since an end-product will be worth each sweat and tear–TRUBIZ.
