Hearing Allyship 101
Deaf people are a historically oppressed minority whose current status and suffering is directly tied to the actions (or lack of action) of hearing people. This workshop examines how hearing people can practice allyship and align themselves with the needs and goals of the deaf community to end stigma, marginalization, and disfranchisement. Presenters, who are themselves deaf and hearing, will share concrete examples of behaviors and ideologies we are looking for to help uplift the deaf community. Hearing allyship includes listening to the deaf community's needs, honoring and celebrating deaf spaces, partnering with community members whenever work is being done on behalf of the community, and ensuring that deaf people access financial resources and employment opportunities.
- Participants will be able to explain how expectations of hearing allyship have evolved over time, and why.
- Participants will be able to list at least five critical principles of being effective allies to the deaf community.
- Participants will build relationships and network with stakeholders of the deaf community.
