Course Description
An exploration of how social justice concepts – difference, power, privilege, positionality, intersectionality, marginalization, discrimination – intersect with the lived experience of people within, and related to, the Deaf community. Students examine how attitudes and structures that prioritize hearing and speech have affected the lives of Deaf people. Students are provided with tools to develop a critical eye with which to recognize injustice and identify ways in which they can respond in alliance with the goals of the Deaf community in their future professional roles. This course is taught in American Sign Language. Students in the American Sign Language/English Interpreting concentration must pass this course with a minimum grade of C (2.0).
