Hailey\u27s Hearing Aids

Individuals from the deaf and hard-of-hearing community are likely to experience more anxiety and depression due to defective cognitive, social, communicational, and emotional skills (Azizi et al., 2019). The word “disability” is embedded with historical negative connotations with phrases such as “deaf and dumb” because if they were deaf or mute then they were automatically labeled as inferior (Horovitz, 2007). Since the 18th century, the DHH community has been seen as incapable, even inhuman, hence the development of emotional deficiencies that bleed into one’s perception of society and their self esteem (Gallaudet, 1886). How do you navigate a hearing world with hearing loss? When there are few accessible guidelines on how to interact with people, yet one has to learn how to speak effectively enough to communicate in order to be heard

Decolonizing Museums: Reclaiming Cultural Heritage and Challenging Colonial Legacies

Museums for a very long time have been acknowledged as trusted institutions that harbor and shape our understanding of history, culture, and identity. However, racism and colonialism have influenced how museums historically gathered, interpreted, and, displayed cultural artifacts and objects. As a result, Indigenous peoples and other oppressed groups\u27 viewpoints and experiences have been marginalized and stories- erased. In recent years, there has been a rising realization of the need to decolonize museums and more truly represent and honor the viewpoints and experiences of these individuals. This research focuses on how and what museums are doing to successfully decolonize their collections and exhibitions to more fully represent and honor the perspectives and experiences of Indigenous peoples and other marginalized groups, while also addressing the legacies of colonialism and racism that have historically shaped museums as institutions. The purpose of this paper is to add to the continuing discussions about what actions museums can take to create inclusive and socially just institutions to foster understanding and constructive social change. I aim to add to the continuing discussions about museum decolonization and the necessary actions and solutions they can take by reviewing a few case studies of museums that re-developing themselves into more inclusive and socially just institutions
