This is the final event in the Women of Chilmark lecture series, with Professor Jody Cripps of Clemson University in American Sign Language (ASL) with a translator. The history of the deaf community in Chilmark is well-known, but what was the life of deaf residents actually like? In this lecture, Professor Jody Cripps of Clemson University will focus on the life of Katie West, the last known signer of Martha’s Vineyard Sign Language (MVSL) as well as introduce the audience to some of the unique signs of MVSL. Katie West’s house, on the corner of Beetlebung Farm, is now part of the Chilmark Public Library.

The goal of this program is to provide practical guidance that helps those suffering from AGS to better understand their own triggers, navigate recommendations safely, and make informed choices without becoming overwhelmed.
