Our Mission
The mission of the Deaf Academics organization is to foster interaction
between Deaf and hard-of-hearing people in academic or research careers.
In this way, we hope to encourage the professional development of our
members.
Who are we?
Deaf academics are Deaf/deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals who
are scientists, researchers, instructors, professors, or lecturers within
an university or laboratory setting. We also welcome graduate
