| Areas of expertise | My background is in languages and linguistic nationhood. More specifically in the history, cultural and identity politics and well-being priorities of linguistic minority groups. My research explores what constitutes a 'DEAF space' (ie. reality as it is produced by Deaf people). My PhD describes a DEAF space that emerged in 19th century France and charts what happened as it encountered the taken-for-granted assumptions of the hearing world. My areas of expertise are, in particular: located productions of knowledge, native and foreign questions of validity, power and representations of knowledge integrity and the issues surrounding translation. I also have expertise in areas of post-colonial theory, development theory, oppression, post-conflict cultures, nationhood and nationalism, linguistics, translation, interpreting, cultural theory and social theory, geographies of disability, historical geography, historiography, Deaf politics, 19th century French history, secularisation, hermeneutics and liberation theology. |
