Intersectionality
- the deaf community is very diverse. There are deaf people with different races, ethnicities, religions, sexual orientation, family beliefs and values and other factors
- Deaf identities are not the only identities – everyone has multiple identities. Those multiple identities are intertwined, resulting in different life experiences
- Some intersections can be Ethnicity and Race, another can be sexual orientation, another can be disability.
- Internalizing each of the marginalized identities helps the individual have a stronger sense of self and be more confident in facing life’s challenges
- Additional identities will interact within the concept of intersectionality

Deaf Identities
- Culturally Deaf people will identify themselves as using sign language, proud of being Deaf, and live a Deaf way of life
- There are many different ways to identify as a Deaf person
- Glickman (1996) believes that Deaf people are a minority group and share life experiences and oppression just like a member of a minority group
- Some researchers feel that figuring out identities based on surveys and measures are too limiting. They prefer the narrative approach. Researchers can listen to people’s stories, and examine themes from their life stories
