BHM 2023: Intersectionality — Dual Oppression of Racism and Audism
Kevin Buckle's research study focuses on the lived experiences of British Black Deaf people from African and Caribbean family backgrounds and their views towards the two forms of oppression: race and audism which are based on intersectionality. It is particularly related to his autoethnography and lived experience. To date, the literature focusing on British Black Deaf people’s lived experiences has been overlooked and under-researched because of very little academic attention on both race and deafness.
The study aims to present a roadmap of the participants’ lived experiences (including Kevin's lived experience) in the UK to understand how they have been through the ills of the oppressive world. Kevin employs an approach of autoethnography and qualitative interviews to find out how racism and audism have a negative effect on Black Deaf people’s well-being and intersectional identity.
An intersectional framework including race and deafness should be acknowledged to address the gaps in both Deaf Studies and Black Studies among other academic studies.
There will be an interview style presentation who will be led by Dr. Dai O’Brien, Associate Professor, British Sign Language, Deaf Studies and Linguistics.
Ahmed’s 1st experience on WASLI Congress in South Korea
