Deaf Mobility Studies: Exploring International Networks, Tourism, and Migration
Annelies Kusters, Erin Moriarty, Amandine le Maire, Sanchayeeta Iyer, and Steven Emery
A team of five deaf ethnographers journeyed alongside their participants to delve into a rich array of experiences — ranging from career advancements and marriages to tourism and the challenges faced by deaf refugees. Themes that emerged in their research include how deaf people seek spaces of belonging, engage in languaging, expand their networks, and experience immobility. QR codes throughout the book link to nine ethnographic films to create this dual narrative experience.
