Event Description

As people become more aware of how the system is designed to lift or block certain groups of people, senses of confusion, guilt, or shame can creep in. How do we build deeper cross-cultural alliances in a world of uncertainty and stress? 

Outside of intersectional issues (i.e. racism, sexism, etc.), audism and linguicism are common forms of oppression within the Deaf Community. Hearing guilt can emerge when a hearing person feels lost on how to move forward with Deaf and hard of hearing people. 

With this webinar, hearing people can begin to transcend hearing guilt and figure out how to engage in the community in healthy ways. Participants will gain a birds-eye view of oppression and the difference between guilt and shame. This foundation leads to a meaningful application of a leadership framework and power dynamics. Each participant will have the opportunity to develop a unique plan to move forward with confidence and compassion.Participants completing this training will understand the interactional leadership framework and how it applies to meaningful allyship work within the Deaf and hard of hearing community.

At the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:

• Touch on the complex intersections of audism, linguicism, and other privileges.
• Identify the difference between shame and guilt.
• Define and move past hearing guilt.
• Apply interactional leadership framework to allyship in the Deaf/HH context.
• Learn and apply inclusive leadership traits to allyship in the Deaf/HH context.
• Practice strategies to improve cross-cultural relationships and better advocate for systems change.
