Deaf Studies Think Tank
| Status: Ongoing | Begin date: October 1, 2001 | End date: No set date |
Description
The Deaf Studies Think Tank was designed to convene scholars from the U.S. and England to discuss a variety of issues that will contribute toward a Deaf Theory. Just as other "area studies" have developed theoretical practices,such as feminist or Marxist theory, so too may Deaf Studies explore its own theoretical base. In 2002, twenty-one scholars discussed, debated, and presented perspectives regarding Deaf Studies. In 2004, a book developed largely from these discussions was accepted for publication.
