A discussion vlog: Carl Schroeder explains what his program at Western Oregon University (WOU) entails. (1) ASL Studies aims to examine ASL in terms of linguitics and its relation to power, The goal is to expose power relationships and to examine how these relationships influence and shape Deaf people. (2) ASL Studies is not simply the study of ASL. Its objective is to understand ASL in all its complex forms and to analyze the social and political context within which ASL manifests itself. (3) ASL Studies attempts to expose and reconcile the division of knowledge...between the knower and the known, between the observer and what is being observed. Deaf people use a different channel, SIGHT, through which information, knowledge and communication are conveyed.
