Seeing the Layers: A Practical Guide to Deaf-Inclusive Intersectionality
Frameworks and Tools for Inclusive Education, Justice, and NGO Programs
Most "inclusion" work still treats Deaf people as one uniform group-and that's exactly where the most vulnerable get missed. This revised edition equips NGO staff, educators, and justice practitioners with a clear framework and ready-to-use tools to identify and address layered exclusion within Deaf communities.
Inside, you'll find expanded intersectionality guidance, updated vulnerability-mapping matrices, and refined facilitation tools for team training. Whether you work in education, justice, or community development, Seeing the Layers helps you turn good intentions into measurable, rights-based action.
