Dr. Matt Malzkuhn is an alum of the Cultural Studies Program at George Mason University, and his dissertation research on deaf home video filmmaking has turned into a book that has been picked up by Oxford University Press. Dr. Malzkuhn’s book, co-authored with Dr. Ted Supalla, Home Movies Hardly Silent: Unlocking Our Deaf Folklife Films represents a much needed documentation on the folklore and folklife of the deaf community. Dr. Malzkuhn was gracious enough to take the time to answer some questions about his upcoming book and how his experiences at George Mason ultimately led him to publish a book on Deaf Folklore. 

This past month has been a whirlwind of awards and scholarships for George Mason students. We are excited to announce the winners and congratulate the Folklore Program’s students who have received these honors.
