Abstract
- The intersectional identities and lived experiences of Signing Latinx are insufficiently documented. Reflecting on my own lived experiences, I began to question traditional research paradigms that often neglected the stories shared by individuals from different communities within the larger Signing Latinx community. As I was introduced to Critical Race Theory, I was drawn to Deaf Critical Theory and Latinx Critical Theory. However, after analyzing both frameworks I recognized how many unique Deaf-Latinx related issues were overlooked. Deaf-Latinx ways of being and knowing need to be considered when working with Deaf-Latinx, especially in the classroom. I am pleased to share how my Deaf Chicana consciousness awakening has led me to propose a new theoretical framework, Deaf-Latinx Critical Theory (Deaf-LatCrit) with four interlocking tenets and their associated benefits. This unifying model may be a force to strengthen and solidify this unique community through the voices of Deaf-Latinx and their families.
