Deaf Expressions

Catalog description

Students will explore the historical, philosophical, linguistic, social, cultural, educational, medical and artistic past, present, and future of deaf/Deaf/hard-of-hearing people. This course uses an online format to discuss concepts and perspectives found in the assigned book(s) and visual media (e.g. film, television programs, etc,). Each time the course is offered the book and visual media will be different so students may take this course multiple times. Books/media will be chosen from areas with relevance to Deaf Culture and community, such as D/deaf literature and the Arts, D/deaf history, D/deaf issues, significant D/deaf people, and ASL. This course is repeatable for credit.
