    Description
    This advanced ASL course expands students' vocabulary, classifier usage, and conversational abilities through the study of complex grammar and storytelling techniques. It immerses students in notable Deaf cultural stories and the life narratives of distinguished Deaf individuals, refining storytelling skills while exploring Deaf heritage and history. The course examines intersections of power, race, ethnicity, class, gender, and language within Deaf culture. It highlights the cultural diversity of the Deaf World, the importance of Deaf storytelling, critical linguistic elements integral to cultural expression, and social services/ programs for the Deaf community. By analyzing the intersectional dynamics that shape the Deaf experience, the course provides a rich understanding of Deaf culture, history, and the diversity therein. Students with previous ASL experience meet with ASL faculty for assessment and proper placement Course requires significant time outside of class. **All Prerequisite courses must be completed with a minimum grade of C, or a P if taken on a Pass/No Pass basis, unless otherwise noted To look up current section offerings and CRNs visit the Class Finder.
