Going beyond the Great Divide : Reflections from Deaf Studies

• This paper begins by briefly introducing the great divide in deafness reserach and the place research from educational sciences perspectives has in this field in Sweden. Subsequently, a distinction is made between institutional and research agendas vis-a-vis educational arenas. Based upon this, some recent critique raised against areas of Swedish (special) educational research is addressed. This critique has shaped some choices in the work being carried out at the research group described. This article presents an account of trends in the international Deaf educational research in the section that follows. It discusses, against this backdrop, some issues in the Swedish research before describing and qualifying the nature of research being conducted at the Deaf Studies group within the KKOM-DS research group in Örebro.
