Peers n Pubs - Give me a Sign: Finding Rhymes in ASL

Peers'N’Pubs brings you a little something for the summer.

We welcome Dr. Zed Sehyr as she unravels the first ever interactive vizualiation database for signed languages. Zed will be joined by her best friend Rachelle and she will be talking about her paper entitled:
