Dates: 04-Jul-2016 - 15-Jul-2016
Location: Aarhus, Denmark

Focus: The course in Deaf Studies consists of two independent one-week courses. The first part (week 1) provides a global overview of Deaf Studies, taught by Annelies Kusters, social anthropologist working in Göttingen, Germany. The second part consist sof a more specialized course in Deaf Bilingualism, taught by Krister Schönström, International Sign linguist from Stockholm University.
Minimum Education Level: Undergraduate

Description:
In this course, the students will be introduced in the discipline of Deaf
Studies. Central in this overview is an exploration of themes that have been
investigated and a critical examination of the theoretical frameworks and
concepts that have been used (such as Deaf
culture/community/identity/space/networks/sociality, Deafhood, Deaf Gain). The
students also will gain insight in the discipline’s different “waves”. While
the first wave of Deaf Studies persistently tried to identify and define “deaf
community”, “deaf culture” or “deaf identity” as clearly delineated units,
themes explored by researchers in the second wave are “deaf epistemologies”
and “deaf ontologies”, in which the embodiment as a deaf person is central.
The third wave of Deaf Studies builds upon and extends the second wave’s
research by arguing that this embodiment is central not only in the study of
the research participants’ experiences but also in terms of the researchers’
positionalities and their relationships with deaf research participants and
deaf communities. Decidedly, research in the third wave is also more global in
focus. This overview will establish the framework for the remainder of the
course in which recent ethnographic research will be discussed, covering all
geographic areas and all kinds of deaf spaces including Europe, USA,
South-America, Africa, and Asia; urban and rural locations; deaf schools and
organisations; temporary deaf spaces such as in pubs and public transport,
deaf events and tourism. Throughout the whole course, ethnographic and visual
research methods in Deaf Studies will be discussed as well.
