ASLD 324 - Critical Deaf and Disability Studies

(3 units)

Prerequisite(s)/ Corequsite(s): ASLD 201 or consent of instructor

This course will explore Deaf and Disability issues at an advanced critical thinking level, using Critical Race Theory, Critical Disability and Queer theory. ASLD is heavily concentrated on Linguistics, but is a linguistics and cultures program. This course will help fulfill that gap of cultural-based contents by providing academic and educational resources and training using an intersectional lens for the learners to become more critically conscious and sensitive to the experiences and needs of varying Disabled and Deaf bodies. This course will allow the learners to critically analyze different types of privileges and oppressions that create, affect and are affected by cultures.
