Course Description:

The overarching aims of this presentation is to delve into the impetus for my study on immigrant deaf students of color (IDSOC). My operational definition for this student population will be outlined vis a vis my positionality as someone who share similar identities with them but also diverge in ways that will turn out relevant in my study. Then, we'll talk about raciolinguistic ideologies and their manifestations and ramifications on their experiences as they navigate US deaf education system. Other related theoretical frameworks will be touched on (eg. language ideologies/attitudes, "deaf native signerism", translanguaging, "atypical languaging", crip linguistics). Unique considerations of being IDSOCs will be discussed in depth (how different are they from the general deaf student population). Some quotes that I have garnered from my interviews with them will be shown and I will be discussing the implications of these quotes in your practices. Concrete approaches on engaging with IDSOCs and their families will be communicated as well.
