Deaf Studies for Educators (Early Papers in Deaf Studies #2)

Synopsis

As Deaf Studies emerged in the 1970s and 1980s as a field of academic study and inquiry, the importance of Deaf Studies in education became an area of interest among thought leaders of the time. Deaf Studies for Educators is a collection of papers from a 1991 conference convened to explore Deaf Studies as a framework for teaching and learning. American Sign Language literature and poetry, bilingual and bicultural programs, arts and history, and deaf identity are several of the topics covered. This collection captures how educators understood early on the benefits of a curriculum that was more fully inclusive and reflective of deaf culture and deaf experiences. A foreword by Onudeah D. Nicolarakis contextualizes the work for modern audiences. This is the second volume in the Early Papers in Deaf Studies series, which consists of reissued works originally published by the Gallaudet University College for Continuing Education but long out of print. The aim of this series is to restore these foundational papers to the scholarly community. Deaf Studies for Educators is available in both print and open digital formats, ensuring broad access to this important contribution to the literature.
