  • ABSTRACT Hearing Humanities: a Holistic Approach to Audiology
    ABSTRACT Hearing Humanities: A Holistic Approach to Audiology Education Callie M. Boren Director: Jason Whitt, Ph.D. This thesis explores the intersection of Deaf/disability identity and the practice of audiology, and has three aims: first, to establish broad background information about the common cultures, identities, and models that relate to disability; second, to connect this background information to the personal and social domains of the lives of people with hearing loss; and finally, to establish current problems and provide direction in training future audiologists in order to ensure clinicians provide care that is above and beyond minimum ethical standards. The first aim will be accomplished by outlining the history and development of Deaf culture and its key features, framing the parallel history and development of disability culture and identity, and comparing and contrasting Deaf culture and identity with disability culture and identity. The second aim of this work will be accomplished by revisiting the definition of disability models, introducing the models that might have bearing on the lives of people with disabilities, and applying these models to the social experience of a person with hearing loss. The final aim of this work will be accomplished by establishing a brief history of the field of audiology, examining the ethics that guide audiology practice, defining and describing audiological counseling, and introducing a new approach to training clinicians that incorporates the humanities.

Literacy leads to better health, broadens employment opportunities, and creates safer and more stable societies. However, more than 387 million children are not expected to read or do basic math by the end of primary school.1 For the more than 93 million children with disabilities globally, learning outcomes are even lower, as they are less likely to go to school and have access to accessible learning resources.

  • American Sign Language
    tm American Sign Language 1. What is American Sign Language? In the 19th century, American Sign Language (ASL) evolved from a combination of French Sign Language and homemade signs from Mar- tha’s Vineyard and New England homes with deaf children. In the 1960’s, researchers William C. Stokoe, Dorothy S. Caster- line and Carl Croneberg noticed that ASL has linguistic parameters (phonology, morphology, syntax) found in other languages. They recognized ASL as a bona fide language with its own rules of grammar, sentence and sign formation. Like Spanish, French, Chinese and other languages, ASL is a language in and of itself, separate from English. The only difference is that ASL is visual rather than auditory. ASL users convey critical information with their hands through the use of handshapes, locations, movements, palm orientations and non- manual grammatical signals (eyes, face, head, shoulders). Providing full visual access to communication and language, ASL can convey subtle, complex, and abstract thoughts. In short, ASL can communicate anything. The English language has individual letters. Likewise, ASL and other signed languages consist of handshapes. In English, the letters must be arranged in specific ways to convey meanings. It is also true for ASL: handshapes are arranged syntactically. Often the first language for many Deaf North Americans, it is now the fourth most commonly used language in the United States (Nakamura, 2002). It is best learned from other Deaf persons or through interac- Communication Considerations A-ZTM American Sign Language tion with other competent ASL users. Research shows a strong correlation between fluency of ASL and written English, meaning highly skilled ASL users are often competent in written English (Strong & Prinz, 2000).

  • The Deaf Do Not Beg: Making the Case for Citizenship, 1880-1956
    The Deaf Do Not Beg: Making the Case for Citizenship, 1880-1956 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Octavian Elijah Robinson Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Susan Hartmann, Advisor Paula Baker Susan Burch Judy Tzu-Chun Wu Copyright by Octavian Elijah Robinson 2012 Abstract This dissertation examines deaf people’s anxieties about their place in American society and the political economy from 1880 to 1956. My study highlights how deaf people sought to place themselves within mainstream society through their activism to protect and advance their status as citizen-workers. Their activism centered on campaigns against peddling. Those campaigns sought to protect the public image of deaf people as worker-citizens while protecting their language and cultural community. The rhetoric surrounding impostorism and peddling reveals ableist attitudes; anxieties about the oral method supplanting sign language based education for the deaf; fears and insecurities about deaf people’s place in the American economy; class consciousness; and efforts to achieve full social citizenship. Deaf people’s notion of equal citizenship was that of white male citizenship with full access to economic opportunities. Their idea of citizenship extended to the legal and social right to employment and economic self-sufficiency. This is a historical account of the deaf community’s campaign during the late nineteenth and first half of the twentieth century to promote deaf people within American society as equal citizens and to improve their access to economic opportunities.

  • The Development of Education for Deaf People
    1 Chapter 2: The development of education for deaf people The development of education for deaf people Legacy of the Past The book Legacy of the Past (Some aspects of the history of blind educa- tion, deaf education, and deaf-blind education with emphasis on the time before 1900) contains three chapters: Chapter 1: The development of education for blind people Chapter 2: The development of education for deaf people Chapter 3: The development of education for deaf-blind people In all 399 pp. An internet edition of the whole book in one single document would be very unhandy. Therefore, I have divided the book into three documents (three inter- netbooks). In all, the three documents contain the whole book. Legacy of the Past. This Internetbook is Chapter 2: The development of education for deaf people. Foreword In his Introduction the author expresses very clearly that this book is not The history of blind education, deaf education and deaf-blind education but some aspects of their history of education with emphasis on the time before 1900. Nevertheless - having had the privilege of reading it - my opinion is that this volume must be one of the most extensive on the market today regarding this part of the history of special education. For several years now I have had the great pleasure of working with the author, and I am not surprised by the fact that he really has gone to the basic sources trying to find the right answers and perspectives. Who are they - and in what ways have societies during the centuries faced the problems? By going back to ancient sources like the Bible, the Holy Koran and to Nordic Myths the author gives the reader an exciting perspective; expressed, among other things, by a discussion of terms used through our history.
