Transcript: Hello everyone, my name is Annelies Kusters and I work at Heriot-Watt University. On Monday, during the BSL Burns Week, I will be presenting on deaf heritage and BSL heritage. I will talk about what “heritage" means, how it differs from “history", and why this concept is useful. I will also explore what heritage allows us to show, and how it can help us look differently at deaf culture and deaf history. Finally, I will discuss how storytelling and film relate to heritage. See you on Monday!
