Kevin Buckle's research study focuses on the lived experiences of British Black Deaf people from African and Caribbean family backgrounds and their views towards the two forms of oppression: race and audism which are based on intersectionality. It is particularly related to his autoethnography and lived experience. To date, the literature focusing on British Black Deaf people’s lived experiences has been overlooked and under-researched because of very little academic attention on both race and deafness.

The study aims to present a roadmap of the participants’ lived experiences (including Kevin's lived experience) in the UK to understand how they have been through the ills of the oppressive world. Kevin employs an approach of autoethnography and qualitative interviews to find out how racism and audism have a negative effect on Black Deaf people’s well-being and intersectional identity.

An intersectional framework including race and deafness should be acknowledged to address the gaps in both Deaf Studies and Black Studies among other academic studies.

There will be an interview style presentation who will be led by Dr. Dai O’Brien, Associate Professor, British Sign Language, Deaf Studies and Linguistics.

Ahmed will give a talk highlighting his firsthand experience as a trainee translator and a deaf relay interpreter, which he will share with all of you.

Ahmed’s profound impact was similar to when he first arrived in South Korea in June 2023.

He will also share some of his highlighted experiences enriched with knowledge and skills, empowerment and development training, and insights from various speakers about the deaf community and interpreters.
