On 29 May 2019 we had another prestigious visitor. Ms. Anne Waldschmidt from the University of Cologne visited us at the Institute for German Sign Language (IDGS). Speaking on the subject of “Risking more theory! Notes on the ‘model discussion’ in disability studies”, this was another in a series of guest lectures held at the IDGS in the 2019 summer semester. Numerous students, guests and staff of the IDGS attended the fascinating lecture. The topic of disability studies had already been intensively debated the evening before the lecture in a small and friendly group.
