After a protracted struggle, I managed to open a course called “Deaf Culture” at my department. It will be taught next spring. I’m going to audit because I know absolutely nothing about deaf culture and since I’m the first person at the university to ram the course through and make it happen, I should benefit from the fruits of my labor.
The professor is deaf, so we’ll have an interpreter.
I’ll share what I learn here. I’m so excited, I’m practically floating. None of it was there before I assumed command, and now we have many sections of ASL on different levels. I’m trying to make a whole program in Deaf Studies happen but the bureaucracy is daunting. I’ll wrestle it eventually but while the fight continues, it’s good to celebrate victories along the way.
