SIGN 250 Visual Methodologies

This course will serve as an introduction to visual methodologies, looking at different types of visual research and critically examining a range of visual methods and their uses. Our society is moving towards a more visually oriented environment in our media and social media, in terms of how information is presented, disseminated, and gathered. The Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing community in America relies greatly on visual stimuli and visual forms of information, but so do many other groups in today’s American society. Different methods to develop and study visual data and how they may be used within the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community, among others, will be examined, with opportunities to apply these methods in class projects.
