DEFINE: unDerstanding Experiences of deaF unIversity studeNts in WalEs - a case study

聋人的受教育程度和就业率都低于听力正常的人，他们报告的孤立和排斥对他们的发展、参与和心理健康都有影响。许多D/D聋人报告说，他们的大学经历孤独且充满挑战。46%的d/d耳聋学生在没有支持的情况下进入大学，缺乏有针对性的资源，平等问题没有得到满足。BAME个人在大学人口中的代表性进一步不足。摆脱压迫的自由始于理解排斥和压迫的交叉视角。它需要解决对人们的大学生活体验以及更广泛的社会和空间体验的多重交叉影响。残疾地理学促进了人们对不同机构如何驾驭日常生活和空间，以及可以做些什么来赋予残疾人权力的理解。

Deaf people have lower educational qualifications and lower employment than hearing people, reporting isolation and exclusion which impact on their development, engagement and mental health. Many d/Deaf people report lonely and challenging university experiences. 46% of d/Deaf students start university without support, lack targeted resources, with equality issues unmet. BAME individuals are further under-represented in university populations. Freedom from oppression starts with an intersectional lens for understanding exclusion and oppression. It requires addressing multiple cross-cutting impacts on people's experiences of university life, as well as of society and space more generally. Disability geographies advance understandings of how different bodies navigate everyday life and space, and what can be done to empower disabled people.
