What people are saying

about deaf culture

I am hard of hearing and I knew some of what I learned but Professor Britten taught me a great deal more about deaf culture as well.

I learned so much about deaf culture, most definitely appreciated learning about The Rehabilitation act of 1973 along with other laws that were implemented to protect those with disabilities.

hearing people

As a deaf person, I know what my life is like, but I imagine many hearing people will be left with an impression that all our barriers are long overcome and that audism is not a thing anymore.

This course was very interesting and I love how it was done completely in ASL with an interpreter for hearing people.
