JANUARY

Our first event for the year was a guest lecture by Pubodha Sarani, Brayan Susantha, Geshani Amila, Mohamed Razak and Sumudu Sulochana, who are colleagues from the Sri Lanka Central Federation for the Deaf (SLCFD). Each speaker shared his/her experience of undertaking research on sign language, sign linguistics and/or Deaf culture. The lecture was open to final year Speech and Hearing Sciences students who are due to undertake their individual research projects this year. The lecture was delivered in Sri Lankan Sign Language and translated into spoken Sinhala.
