Deaftopia: Imagining a perfect world | Video Podcast | SBS x Deaf Australia

Despite Auslan awareness being on the rise, many Deaf children are isolated in mainstream education settings, often without having ever met another Deaf person. In this final episode of Our Deaf Ways, Jen Blyth and Karthik Vijayanandam imagine what a world free of daily frustrations and structural limitations would look like for people in the Deaf community.
