Course Description

This Symposium is the fourth in the Deaf Studies Research Symposium series, following similar events in 1998, 2003 and 2008. RIDBC Renwick Centre looks forward to continuing this tradition of sharing ground-breaking research in Deaf Studies, with a special focus on Deaf people’s language, culture, history and education.The theme of the event will be ‘The Deaf Brain’ – neuroscience is becoming one of the most exciting and compelling new contributors to our understanding of Deaf people and their lives.
