“…However, our focus is on the most recent literature that has emerged in Deaf studies. Significant work has been undertaken by Ruiz-Williams et al (2015), Moges (2017Moges ( , 2020, García-Fernández (2014, Dunn andAnderson (2020), Miller andClark (2020) and Stapleton (2014). Nevertheless, intersectionality remains quite recent in the Deaf studies literature and it appears that a key centring of this work is on identity formation, as opposed to, for example, structural and social processes.…”

Deaf migration through an intersectionality lens

This article is based on an empirical research study of deaf migration, using an intersectional lens. The study of migration and the lens of intersectionality are increasingly being deployed in academic circles but both are very recent when it comes to the study of deaf people. Our key reason for using the lens of intersectionality is twofold. Firstly, we believe that it enables us to highlight the experiences of people who tend to be neglected in the scholarly literature -in this article, our focus will a case study of two Black deaf African migrants. Secondly, we want to encourage the reader not merely to 'add' migration as an identity/experience of the lives of a community of deaf peoples but to examine and explore the interlocking relations of power that they experience. We believe intersectionality is an ideal lens through which to do so. Points of interest• In the literature on the study of disabled people when many identities are being examined it is not always clear if deaf migrants are included; in this article we do so. • We studied interviews that had been held covering the life experience of two deaf migrants, which were undertaken within a larger research project. • We found it useful to look at deaf migrants' different experiences within institutions such as education and the Home Office, in relation to their identities such as ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class or religion • We found that while deaf migrants experience discrimination and racism from deaf and hearing people alike, they also find means of solidarity and support from different hearing and deaf people and groups. • It is suggested that social policymakers and deaf communities can miss or neglect deaf migrants' wide range of life experiences -these need to be identified and included when forming policy.

“…All these works, however, challenge, implicitly or explicitly, privileged narratives in Deaf studies that fail to address the prevalence of white supremacy, heteronormativity, cis-gendered, able-bodied normativity, and a range of other privileges (e.g. Stapleton 2014).…”

“…The research regarding various intersecting social identities and disabilities aims to shed light on many invisible populations by challenging educators not to essentialize students with disabilities (for example, see Martinez & Sewell, ; Pearson, ; Stapleton, ; Thompson, ; Underhile & Cowles, ). Research and practice must compel educators toward a deeper understanding of the differences between and among disabilities.…”

“…Black DHH people generally experience at least 2 types of oppression: racism and audism. [ 6 ] The term “racism” is defined as prejudice or discrimination against another with the belief that one's race is superior to the other person's. The term “audism” refers to the attitude and perspective that being able to hear is superior compared to being DHH.…”

“…The term “audism” refers to the attitude and perspective that being able to hear is superior compared to being DHH. [ 6 , 7 ] Due to their intersectional identities, Black DHH people may experience difficulties that are influenced by systemic racism and audism. Some examples may include, but are not limited to, difficulties with accessing equitable education, getting qualified interpreters in healthcare, and/or not having physicians who are not only language concordant in ASL but also self-identify as Black—in the US, there are no known Black DHH physicians that use ASL, as of this study's publication.…”

Health disparities among Black deaf and hard of hearing Americans as compared to Black hearing Americans

et al. 2022

There is a dearth of literature on health outcomes for Black people who identify as deaf or hard of hearing (DHH). Black DHH individuals generally experience at least 2 types of oppression, racism and audism, both of which contribute to health disparities within the Black and Deaf communities. To understand the prevalence of health outcomes in a Black DHH adult sample and compare this to a Black hearing sample. A descriptive cross-sectional study with primary Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS)- American Sign Language survey data from Black DHH adults and secondary National Cancer Institute-HINTS English survey data from Black hearing adults. Black DHH adults and Black hearing adults (18 years or older). Using NCI's health information national trends survey in American Sign Language and English, self-reported data was gathered for all medical conditions as diagnosed by healthcare providers. The study showed that Black DHH adults had a higher likelihood for diabetes, hypertension, lung disease, cancer, and comorbidity compared to their hearing Black counterparts. Black DHH adults are at disparity for certain medical conditions compared to the general Black adult population. Future directions are needed to ensure that anti-racist policies include consideration of people with sensory disabilities. Inclusion of cultural and language needs of Black DHH patients in cultural humility training for healthcare providers is recommended to address health disparity in this population.
