Published in 2017 by Gallaudet University Press, this peer-reviewed book outlines vital issues that influence how deaf people reach their goals after high school and provides the foundation for the National Deaf Center’s mission. Real-life examples and current research are combined to reach a diverse readership. A review in the Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education noted it “fills a large gap in the field” and “provides a thorough and important contribution to the field of postsecondary outcomes for deaf individuals.”
It’s time for a paradigm shift. In this chapter co-authored with Susan R. Easterbrooks, Stephanie examines how the research community continues to make one fatal flaw: It does not ask practitioners who must implement research to guide the field to better questions. Until the paradigm shifts to practitioners providing guidance for deciding what to study based on their needs, the resounding cry of “so what” will continue to be the response to “research from on high.”
