ASLD-2021Cross Cultural Interaction
This foundational course offers students the opportunity to learn about interacting in culturally diverse settings with a special focus placed on the Deaf community. Learning about a new culture often presents challenges for participants who are unaware of differing or conflicting cultural expectations from a student’s own cultural perspective. This course will offer students the opportunity to prepare for cross-cultural encounters with the primary focus being between Deaf and non-Deaf people. Topics will include cross-cultural theory, the enculturation process, oppression, feedback, and conflict resolution.
