It is not a paper but a project proposal :-)

Interesting! I was talking with Sujit just yesterday about whether to include ads in the study or not! In India, it seems that ads feature deaf actors more often than films do (in mainstream films in India, deaf characters are usually performer by hearing actors)

#AcademicSky, let's get to know each other! Quote this with: 1) a project you're working on & 2) an idea you aren't working on but keep thinking abt
