Deaf Studies Open Access Articles

Deaf studies are academic disciplines involved with the study of the deaf social life of human groupings and individuals. These constitute an interdisciplinary field that participates contents, critiques, and methods from anthropology, political science, economics, geography, history, psychology, cultural studies, social studies, and sociology, among others. The field aims on the language, culture, and lives of the deaf from the social instead of the medical perspective. The University of Bristol began using the term "deaf studies" in 1984 after the formation of the Centre for Deaf Studies in 1968. Scholars began recognising themselves with the field, particularly after degree-granting plans in Deaf Studies began to occur in the United Kingdom and the United States from the late 1970s to the 1980s.The first master's degree on Deaf Studies was launched at the University of Bristol in 1992. Studying the lives of those who are deaf involve learning about their sign language, culture, history and their human rights. Being involved in "Deaf Studies" means focusing on the sociological, historical and linguistic features of the deaf and hearing impaired.
