SOCI 130 - Diversity in the Deaf Community 3 Credits This course provides an introduction to the study of diversity in the Deaf community. Students will learn about subgroups within the Deaf community with different sociological, linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Issues of race, ethnicity, sexuality and language variation will be analyzed and related to the notion of self-perception, self-esteem, and acculturation. An in-depth analysis of the nature and needs of the culturally Deaf, non-culturally deaf, Deaf-Blind, deaf disabled, and deaf from other countries will be held. The course also addresses social and audiological differences as well as past and present educational, rehabilitative, and political philosophies and policies that affect this group. Students also will learn how the deaf experience transcends race, ethnicity, sociological factors, language variation, sexuality and other factors to bond members of the deaf community and help define Deaf culture.
