About us<\/h1>\n

SORD conducts applied health and science research concerning d\/Deaf people, their families, social networks and service provision.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Spanning the lifecourse, our work addresses health inequalities, the impacts of minoritisation, evidence-based service provision and practice with d\/Deaf people, the contribution of d\/Deaf people to wider society and the richness of Deaf language and culture.<\/p>\n

We are a sign-bilingual research group comprising Deaf and hearing people with researcher drawn from a range of professional and academic backgrounds. SORD team members comprise early career interns through to post-doctoral career academics, both Deaf and hearing. We regularly work in partnership across academic disciplines and very closely with service providers in the field and d\/Deaf organisations.<\/p>\n
