SIGN 365 ASL Literature

Course covers two full-length ASL narratives by Ben Bahan and Sam Supalla, well respected ASL storytellers. Through the narratives, students are exposed to the lives and experiences of deaf people. Deaf people rely on ASL narratives to portray themselves and to reaffirm their identities as members of a distinct cultural group. Students also learn how a narrative is formed without a written system and how it is preserved and passed down through the generations. Note: This is a required course for students pursuing an American Sign Language Studies Minor.
