Oxford Handbooks offer authoritative and up-to-date reviews of
original research in a particular subject area. Specially
commissioned chapters from leading figures in the discipline give
critical examinations of the progress and direction of debates, as
well as a foundation for future research. Oxford Handbooks provide
scholars and graduate students with compelling new perspectives
upon a wide range of subjects in the humanities, social sciences,
and sciences. The adage "Those who do not learn from history are
doomed to repeat it" is a powerful one for parents, teachers, and
other professionals involved with or interested in deaf individuals
or the Deaf community. Myths grown from ignorance have long dogged
the field, and faulty assumptions and overgeneralizations have
persisted despite contrary evidence. A study of the history of deaf
education reveals patterns that have affected educational policy
and legislation for deaf people around the world; these patterns
are related to several themes critical to the chapters of this
volume. One such theme is the importance of parental involvement in
raising and educating deaf children. Another relates to how Deaf
people have taken an increasingly greater role in influencing their
own futures and places in society. In published histories, we see
the longstanding conflicts through the centuries that pertain to
sign language and spoken communication philosophies, as well as the
contributions of the individuals who advocated alternative
strategies for teaching deaf children. More recently, investigators
have recognized the need for a diverse approach to language and
language learning. Advances in technology, cognitive science,
linguistics, and the social sciences have alternately led and
followed changes in theory and practice, resulting in a changing
landscape for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals and those
connected to them. This second volume of the The Oxford Handbook of
Deaf Studies, Language, and Education picks up where that first
landmark volume left off, describing those advances and offering
readers the opportunity to understand the current status of
research in the field while recognizing the opportunities and
challenges that lie ahead. In Volume 2, an international group of
contributing experts provide state-of-the-art summaries intended
for students, practitioners, and researchers. Not only does it
describe where we are, it helps to chart courses for the future.
