The above sentence is from an email I wrote recently to the president of an unnamed linguistics society about a conference they are hosting this summer where a deaf co-presenter and I had papers accepted, but for which sign language interpreters are not being provided. This sentence is a good example of the “deaf tax,” which deaf and hard of hearing academics must pay.
