is currently a graduate student at CSU, Long Beach,
studying in Linguistic Anthropology and a research assistant. She is
working on her Masters thesis based on Language Planning in the Deaf
Eritrean community and has a great interest in her independent study of
Language and Gender among the Deaf. She is Deaf herself and adores
traveling and learning about international Deaf cultural and language
issues.
After graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA)
in Illustration at CSULB, she landed a job on the campus to work for Dr.
Barbara LeMaster. She started as a sign language research assistant,
supposedly, to illustrate the sign language dictionary for Dr. LeMaster's
linguistic study on Irish Sign Language.
Thanks to Dr. LeMaster and the revelation of Deaf Way II, after
two years of employment, Rezenet was drawn into the graduate program of
Anthropology Department to pursue her own linguistic and cultural
research interests.
