  • Emergency Communication for Deaf and Hard of Hearing
    Emergency Communication Effectiveness for Deaf and Hard of Hearing in Victoria, Australia An Interactive Qualifying Project proposal to be submitted to the faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted by: Timothy Flynn Samantha Kingsley Jeffrey Marrion Kelly Roberge Submitted to: Project Advisors: Prof. Peter Christopher Prof. Lauren Mathews Project Liaison: Graeme Kelly, Victorian Deaf Society April 30th 2010 ABSTRACT This project, motivated partly by the recent bushfires, was prepared in cooperation with the Victorian Deaf Society in Melbourne, Australia to evaluate the effectiveness of Victoria’s emergency communication system for the Deaf and hard of hearing. The project team compared emergency communication systems in Australia with those of other countries, including the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. We conducted onsite interviews and surveys with the Deaf and hard of hearing of Victoria and contacted other important stakeholders. Then, we proposed recommendations to the Victorian Deaf Society aimed to help implement changes that would better alert the Deaf and hard of hearing during emergencies. i ACKNOWLEGEMENTS The team would like to acknowledge the individuals who have helped and guided us through our work, both before and during our time in Melbourne. It is with their assistance that we are able to present this finished report to the Victorian Deaf Society (Vicdeaf) and to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). Firstly, we would like to thank the CEO of Vicdeaf, Graeme Kelly, for giving us the opportunity to work for this organization. He provided us with the problem statement and suggested areas of research in order to have a thorough report.

  • A PRACTITIONER's PERSPECTIVE Bill Moody, New York International
    2002JOI 9/23/02 11:49 AM Page 1 INTERNATIONAL SIGN: A PRACTITIONER’S PERSPECTIVE Bill Moody, New York “For centuries, scholars from every country have searched for a universal language and failed. Well, it exists all around you, and it is Sign Language!” Ferdinand Berthier, Paris, 1850 INTRODUCTION International Sign, the international communication used among deaf people, has been in use for at least the past 150 years. It has gone by various names throughout history: uni- versal sign language, international gestures, Gestuno, or International Sign. But what is it, exactly? Today, of course, we know that each deaf community has its own sign language, and those languages are more or less mutually incomprehensible (depending on their historical relations). Then how do we explain the fact that signers fluent in at least one sign language can manage to communicate with signers in a completely dif- ferent and mutually unintelligible sign language? Is International Sign a language? Is it even international? Where did it come from? When did it appear? How does it work?1 With the rapid increase in the number of international con- ferences such as the recent Deaf Way II festival and the World Symposium of Sign Language Interpreters this year in Washington, and the XIV World Congress of the World Federation of the Deaf next year in Montreal, interest in International Sign in the US is growing. Now with over 20 years of research on international communication among sign lan- guages, it is time to take another look at what we know about International Sign: its history, its use, and what we as inter- preters can learn from it.

  • Robert Keatley
    Deaf People in Western Region, Kenya: Language, Community and HIV/AIDS Robert Keatley Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Epidemiology and Public Health University College London 2016 1 Declaration of authorship I, Robert Keatley confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signature: Robert Keatley Date: 27th April 2016 2 Abstract Kenya is contending with a very serious and shifting HIV/AIDS epidemic with marginalized communities, like the Deaf community, traditionally beyond the reach of public health campaigns remaining very much at risk of infection. Whilst some research has considered the sexual and reproductive health needs of the Deaf community, there is a paucity of information about the various subgroups within the deaf population, particularly those marginalized deaf individuals who are on the fringes of the community. This study explored how much deaf Kenyans know about HIV/AIDS compared to their hearing compatriots in Western Region, Kenya. Qualitative and quantitative data was collected by means of a survey questionnaire administered through semi-structured interviews from a total sample of 160 people, including 82 deaf and 78 hearing people from five counties in Western Region. Data was analysed by means of theme content analysis (qualitative data) and descriptive statistics (quantitative data). The results showed that there are generally lower levels of awareness and uncertainty of knowledge about HIV transmission and HIV prevention in the deaf population as compared to the hearing community with isolated deaf individuals having less awareness and knowledge compared to their deaf compatriots living in urban areas or as part of a Deaf community.

    Bhibulbhanuvat, S. Ph.D. (Communication Arts), November 2005, Graduate School, Bangkok University Establishing Identity: Narratives of Deaf Thai (268 pp.) Advisor of dissertation: Assoc. Prof. Anita C. James, Ph. D. ABSTRACT Deaf identity in Thai society is stigmatized. Most Thai people know the meaning of being deaf from the folktales that condemned deafness as a disease to be cured and a person with deafness as dependent. Academic studies relating to the issue of deafness in Thailand are mostly conducted in medical and educational contexts which confirm the assumption that deafness is a problem to be fixed. This assumption is also in the mind of most deaf people, who feel inferior to the hearing world. The new theory of identity and communication presented by E. Eisenberg suggested that a person’s identity does not have to conform to the majority consensus. A person can build his or her identity on the uncertainties in life. It is the matter of how an individual interprets his or her surrounding which is reflected in the story he or she tells. Due to the lack of presenting other aspects of the deaf life in Thai society, this study has a strong determination to empower deaf people in Thailand by conveying the stories of ‘living the deaf life’ to the readers. Thirty-four deaf participants in four regions of Thailand were interviewed in order to answer the three research questions: (1) How is deaf identity constructed in Thai society? (2) How do deaf Thai handle deafness in their interaction with others? v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to many people who have contributed much to bringing this dissertation to light.
