A key initiative of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Intersectionalities and Perspectives SIG is expanding our community and impact. One way we achieve this is by gathering annually at the AERA meeting, offering valuable opportunities to exchange knowledge, foster connections, and collaborate. We encourage colleagues—faculty, instructors, researchers, students, and practitioners—to join us in these efforts and become part of our growing community.
Please consider joining our SIG!
