{"product_id":"discovering-deaf-identities-von-guy-mcilroy","title":"Discovering Deaf Identities","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis M Ed study explores how the stories or identity  narratives we tell others of our educational  experiences shapes what it means to be deaf. This  ethnographic study explores the identity development  of nine deaf participants through their identity  narratives. The inclusion of the researcher as a  deaf participant in this study provides an auto- ethnographic gateway into exploring the lives of  deaf\/Deaf\/bi-cultural DeaF persons. The current way  of defining deaf persons has become inadequate for  understanding how many deaf people fit into the  complex modern world of multiple identities.  Consequently, I proposed an alternative theoretical  framework of the post-modern ¿dialogue model''  (Mcilroy,2007)in which the ¿fluid bicultural DeaF  identity'' (Mcilroy, 2008) occupies this middle space  between the orthodox medical ¿deaf'' and  social ¿Deaf'' models of deaf identity. The findings  strongly suggest that deaf identity is no longer a  static concept. It is a complex ongoing quest for  belonging in a hearing dominant society through the  stories we tell others about ourselves. We have much  to learn from the stories of deaf persons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838340173\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA narrative exploration of school experiences on deaf identities\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838340173","offer_id":39498895720541,"sku":"9783838340173","price":68.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/2a1d349b-d7cf-423c-9df6-52b9f8824519.jpg?v=1775627024","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/discovering-deaf-identities-von-guy-mcilroy","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
