Abstract





This special issue pushes for BIPOC communities and intersectional centered perspectives on disability and Deaf communities within higher education as a way to expand our understanding of disabled and Deaf communities’ lives. Keeping in mind, that race, disability and Deaf life in higher education are at the heart of this special issue, the articles provide a variety of topics and guiding questions to serve as a starting point for readers’ thinking.
