Biografisk notat
Annelies Kusters is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Socio-Cultural Diversity, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity, Gottingen, Germany.
Shared signing communities consist of a relatively high number of hereditarily deaf people living together with hearing people in relative isolation, one being the Akan village in Ghana called Adamorobe. Annelies Kusters traveled to Adamorobe to conduct an ethnographic study of both the deaf and hearing populations in the village. She reveals how deaf people in Adamorobe did not live in a social paradise but that they created their own "Deaf Space" by seeking each other out to form a society of their own.
