American Sign Lang & Deaf Stds - Intersctionality&Deaf Commntes

Catalog description

This course brings students to the next level of understanding of the impact and role of various identities within the Deaf communities on the international and national levels, following the framework of intersectionality. Intersectionality conceptualizes the various identities, ethnicities, linguistic uses and experiences of persons, groups of people, or social problems in the world of deaf. Intersectionality looks at deaf people's overlapping identities and experiences in order to understand the complexity of prejudices they face due to their deaf, race, class, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and other identity markers. This course is offered at the 300 and 700 level with additional assignments at the 700 Level. Not open to students with credit in ASLD 312. Prerequisite: Graduate standing or Instructor permission.
