Two years ago, I created a research project about American Sign Language in the history of communication and deaf education. During my research, I interviewed leaders of deaf organizations and several educators from Gallaudet University (a university for the education of the deaf and hard of hearing). From my interviews with deaf people, the family of deaf people, and deaf educators, I learned about the status and gaps in deaf education and social equality and inclusion issues for deaf people. Hearing these stories about deaf education brought me to think of DEI in general in education and led me to creating this podcast. Like no two potatoes are the same, each person is also different, that makes DEI in education critical for a successful and inclusive society. In this podcast, I will be interviewing leaders from education departments, college admissions, K-12 schools, and organizations for the disabled or disadvantaged. They will share insights about current status, gaps, and policies in inclusive education across the nation, promote education equality and encourage efforts to close these gaps. I hope the inspirational stories from The Edutators will encourage everyone to get involved in efforts for DEI in education and empower young people to reach their full potential.
