About

Deaf studies is an interdisciplinary academic field dedicated to the systematic investigation of Deaf communities. It examines the languages (particularly sign languages), cultures, histories, social structures, and lived experiences of Deaf individuals and groups. This field often centers perspectives from within Deaf communities, challenging pathologizing views of deafness to affirm Deaf identity, culture, and the rights of Deaf people as a cultural and linguistic minority.
