CDIS 2890: Deaf Lived Experiences
Honors add-on to various ASL/related courses
Sample course info
Interested in the real-life experiences of deaf/hard-of-hearing people? This class project involves interviews of adults and teens with hearing loss and their families about social, linguistic, and work/school experiences. Practice skills in all stages of community-engaged research: design questions; conduct, annotate, process, and analyze interviews in speech or sign language with an interpreter; summarize and present the process and results; connect with and create resources for the community.
All majors welcome. Skills in anything from linguistics to business to computer science can contribute; no prior experience or sign language necessary.

This project-based course is part of the Deaf Experience, Deaf Expression (DXDX) Project. It runs like a research lab meeting with small, long-term groups working on different aspects of a big project. Everyone gets training in more than one task, and tasks and groups may change as the project requires. See the Student Corner at the above link for more about tasks.
In 2024-2026, students also have opportunities to contribute to other projects, including the Merger Mapping project with Dr. Lisa Sullivan. See the Prevelar Merger page for more info.
