Last month the Journal of Deafblind Studies on Communication (JDBSC) has published a special issue completely dedicated to the international conference that took place last November 2016, in honour of the 10 years anniversary of the International Masters in Communication and Deafblindness at the University of Groningen.

The Journal of Deafblind Study on Communication is a open access journal that focuses on communication and deafblindness from various theoretical perspectives. The study-line is connected to the International Master in Pedagogical Sciences on Communication and Deafblindness at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.

The July 2017-edition contains six interesting papers – all based on the plenary lectures given during the conference – as well as features and commentaries, including an overview of the conference and responses to the given plenary lectures. Also, the featured movies and poster presentations are elaborated on.
