Goedele A. M. De Clerck presents cross-cultural comparative
research that examines and documents where deaf flourishing occurs
and how it can be advanced. She spotlights collective and dynamic
resources of knowledge and learning; the coexistence of lived
differences; social, linguistic, cultural, and psychological
capital; and human potential and creativity. Deaf Epistemologies,
Identity, and Learning argues for an inclusive approach to the
intrinsic human diversity in society, education, and scholarship,
and shows how emotions of hope, frustration, and humiliation
contribute to the construction of identity and community. De Clerck
also considers global to local dynamics in deaf identity, deaf
culture, deaf education, and deaf empowerment. She presents
empirical research through case studies of the emancipation
processes for deaf people in Flanders (a region of Belgium), the
United States (specifically, at Gallaudet University in Washington,
DC), and the West African nation of Cameroon. These three settings
illuminate different phases of emancipation in different contexts,
and the research findings are integrated into a broader literature
review and subjected to theoretical reflection. De Clerck's
anthropology of deaf flourishing draws from her critical
application of the empowerment paradigm in settings of daily life,
research, leadership, and community work, as she explores identity
and well-being through an interdisciplinary lens. This work is
centered around practices of signed storytelling and posits
learning as the primary access and pathway to culture, identity,
values, and change. Change driven by the learning process is
considered an awakening and through this awakening, the deaf
community can gain hope, empowerment, and full citizenship. In this
way, deaf people are allowed to shape their histories, and the
result is the elevation of all aspects of deaf lives around the
world.
