SIGNALL II

SIGNALL II offers a course on Perspectives on Deafness (POD) that is accredited by Trinity College Dublin and offered as part of the Bachelor in Deaf Studies. The course focuses on Deaf Culture, socio-cultural versus medical perspectives on deafness and International perspectives on deafness. Experiential and evidenced-based material will illustrate experiences of deafness by using case studies and video materials.
