I've been trying to research articles on Audism. I've come across some, but I'm starting this thread to see what else is out there. I'm trying to put something together, and I am interested in thoughtful articles.

So, if you've read an article or book that was clear about Audism, and the different ways it can present itself, please share.

This is not a thread to editorialize or name call. It is strictly for informational purposes, to share with others who would benefit from a better understanding of what it really is.
 
from Audism: Exploring the Metaphysics of Oppression (Bauman, Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2004)

3 proposed definitions of Audism:
  1. The notion that one is superior based on one’s ability to hear or behave in the manner of one who hears. [Tom Humphries (1975)]
  2. A system of advantage based on hearing ability. [adapted from Wellman’s (1993) definition of racism and is mindful of Lane’s (1992) discussion of institutionalized audism]
  3. A metaphysical orientation that links human identity with speech. [presented at the Deaf Studies VI conference by Bahan and Bauman (2000)]

Tom Humphries' bio at Gallaudet
Audism: Exploring the Metaphysics of Oppression" (Oxford Jrnl of Deaf Studies & Deaf Ed, 2004) tracing the development of the concept of "audism" from the time Humphries first minted the term in the mid 70s.
