CSD 2140 - Introduction to Deaf Culture
This course is designed to provide students with an in-depth study of American Deaf culture and the American Deaf community from the multidisciplinary perspective. It is an introduction to topics such as cultural identity, core values, group norms, communication, language as well as significant contributions made by Deaf people to the world community. Designed for students who may or may not have had any previous experience or exposure, this course will answer some of the most commonly asked questions about the Deaf community and its rich culture. Views and perspectives of and from the Deaf community will be explored along with the implications of cultural differences when the Deaf and hearing worlds overlap. The oppression experienced by the Deaf community and the impact hegemony has had on the attitudes, values, and beliefs of both the hearing and D/deaf community will be examined.
