Deaf Education Beyond the Western World
 Eighteen of the 21 chapters in the book Brons, Knoors, Marschark (2019) Deaf Education Beyond the Western World. Oxford University Press, are essentially country-wide case studies. These cover many African, Asian and South American countries.
Since 2013, each issue of the British Society of Audiology’s magazine, Audacity has two features related to the aim of this MESHGuide when the feature focus is pediatric, which are
Ear Globe ‘an opportunity to find out about audiology around the world’ and
Ear Reach ‘find out about the latest charity and humanitarian work going on with audiology in the UK and abroad.
