Course Description
Discipline(s):
Cultures & Societies of the World
The majority of deaf people live in the so-called "Global South"; regions like South America, Asia, Africa and India, which have experienced colonialism or and/or have limited access to resources and power. However, historically deaf studies focused on the experiences of deaf people in the "Global North." The course will consider how deaf people's experiences in the Global South have been shaped by local and international contexts, and re-imagine deaf studies from these perspectives.
