ASLD 312: Intersectionality and Deaf Communities

This course brings students to the next level of understanding of the impact and role of various identities within the Deaf communities on the international and national levels, following the framework of intersectionality. Intersectionality conceptualizes the various identities, ethnicities, linguistic uses and experiences of persons, groups of people, or social problems in the world of deaf. Intersectionality looks at deaf people's overlapping identities and experiences in order to understand the complexity of prejudices they face due to their deaf, race, class, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and other identity markers.

This course is eligible for RID CEUs as Academic Coursework. Getting this course offered as a "sponsor initiated activity" is being explored.
