    Description
    Students study the American Deaf community and the relationship of its language, American Sign Language, to its culture. The material will be presented through a psychosocial approach emphasizing past, recent, and evolving dynamics of deaf peoples' language, arts, folklore, heritage, education, family and community structure, employment and values in home and society. Students also study the deaf culture in relation to other cultures in America. Attendance at a Deaf event will be required. Knowledge of ASL is not required to take this course.
