Beyond the Sound Barrier: Deaf Culture Through Hearing Eyes
This course will highlight some major cultural differences in how Hearing and Deaf people communicate. We’ll cover social conventions such as eye contact, personal space and touch; use of light and sound; simple things we can do to make public settings more accessible to Deaf people; and some frequently wondered, but not always asked, questions about Deaf life. The class will be presented in English with some ASL (American Sign Language) elements.
