The document summarizes the presentation of research findings on group rights by Dr. Steven D. Emery. It discusses the paradox that Deaf communities are considered under disability law rather than as linguistic minorities, neglecting their potential collective rights. The research explored this issue through meetings with Deaf participants. It identified five potential group rights for Deaf people, including use of sign language in education. The document proposes that Deaf communities may benefit from boards led by Deaf people to promote and protect their language and culture, rather than relying on states or existing frameworks. It aims to further explore this issue through publications, conferences and online to promote social justice for Deaf communities.
