    Description
    This course introduces students to Awareness of Deaf Culture. Students will learn about the language, norms of behavior, values, traditions and possessions (materials) of D/deaf people. The evolution, from a pathological view of D/deaf people to a cultural one, will be analyzed from a historical and sociological perspective. Intercultural issues relating to the role of hearing people within the Deaf Community will also be covered, as well as explorations of diversity, privilege, and oppression of D/deaf people.
