My research interest is in early years language and communication development of deaf children (https://deafed.leeds.ac.uk/); inclusivity for deaf individuals in the Ghanaian societies; mental health and wellbeing of deaf people; and sign language interpreting development at different settings in Ghana. My aim is to develop a deeper understanding of the resources available to support language and communication of deaf people to facilitate their inclusion in various societies. I am also interested in examining the role of interpreting in the inclusion of deaf students in various educational settings. I have interest in the factors that contribute to the mental health and wellbeing of deaf people. Through my research and coordinations, I hope to develop research capacity of researchers of the Global South particularly within the Ghanaian context by creating research and working collaborations between academics and researchers of the Global North and those of the South.
