Sign Language Teaching Concentration
This concentration provides courses in history research methods and content, emphasizing how techniques of social and cultural history can be applied to the histories of deaf people and communities in the United States and Europe. The Deaf History Concentration requires a comprehensive examination as a means of assessing the student's familiarity with the field. Students may request a thesis project and defense in lieu of a comprehensive examination. These students will be guided in this project through the support of an advisor who will instruct the History Research Project I and History Research Project II courses. Graduates of the Deaf History concentration will be prepared to teach Deaf Studies at the post-secondary level, work in human service and archival related fields, and pursue further research and education in history, anthropology, historical linguistics, and disability studies.
