About this Event

Presented in collaboration with ASL and Deaf Studies in Penn's Department of Linguistics

The collective identity of the Deaf community in the United States has undergone some changes in recent years. Those changes mirror other identities and their development in society, resulting in overlapping of identity and how we understand it. This has caused some controversy in Deaf Studies and related fields. Professor Saunders' presentation will explore some of the history behind those changes and how we now look at Deaf identity in the U.S.
